Blacks Fort is a 3 piece band from Abingdon, Virginia that performs cover songs. We play songs that range from country to rock and roll. Artists include: CCR, John Fogerty, Lynard Skynard, Old Crow and the Medicine Show, Billy Joel, Charlie Daniels, Bill Withers, Jimmy Buffet, and more. We are newly formed from the summer of 2013, although we are all experienced musicians. At this time we are willing to play benefits and other non paying gigs to get our name out there and get some publicity. So if you are looking for some charity event fillers we could be the ones. If you would like to see us for free, sometimes you can see us busking at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia.

Gig Length: 30 - 120 minutes
We play a variety of classic rock to southern rock music. We try and play a wide enough variety of songs to cover a broad spectrum so all people can find at least some of what we do to their liking. We have a unique ability to play with a full PA and equipment for a large show, or we can strip down and go complete acoustic for a small intimate space. We can play a 2 hour set with ease and play another hour as well. We also are new and are trying to develop our recognition and are play for very low prices.
We are the band Blacks Fort from Abingdon Virginia. We are fairly new but getting together. We can play with our sound system and electric. We also can play acoustically. We like to go to the Barter Theater on Friday nights and we play acoustically. Busking is only the thing we do when we are not scheduled to play somewhere else. However we find the busking is great fun and we enjoy it! We also enjoy play shows or bars, clubs, restaurants or whatever. Cameron plays guitar and is lead vocal. He also handle some percussion with shakers and a foot tambourine. Chopper plays the bass and does backup singing, and also works a shaker. Then comes Doug. He is the percussionist who plays congas, bongos, and also play the harmonica depending on the song!
We have a complete PA system so we can play a large show with our own equipment. We also have some lighting. Our equipment is professional grade and we play in a relatively small space with our full equipment. In addition to that we also have the capability to play full acoustic and use even less space if necessary. We can play from a tiny cafe' to a large outdoor event.
