Retired Teachers, Rockin’ Country Music | Roanoke News

A retired teacher duo, Laid Back Country Picker, electrifies the Bristol Rhythm stage with gritty guitar riffs, rock-infused country anthems, and a contagious live energy that has fans dancing. David, once a ninth-grade government teacher, channels his bluegrass roots and Led Zeppelin obsession into a sound that’s pure hillbilly grit with a rock ‘n’ roll soul.
