Artist History Cousins Big Bill Mangus and Robert E. Long formed "The Crossroads Band" in 1995 with childhood friend Kenny Quinones. They released their first CD "Sugar Daddy" in 1996. The release of "Lost Highway" the new CD finds "The Crossroads Band" in powerful form with mature song writing and polished production. Big Bill’s voice soars and touches the soul, Robert’s guitar wizardry ignites song after song and Kenny’s explosive drumming propels each song with authority. Newest member, Tom Aragon, long time friend o f David Hayden, brings the keyboards and a new sense of maturity into the mix (Tom is also a killer guitar player so look for some very cool twin guitar attacks in the very near future) With the addition of the rock solid bass playing of David Hayden "The Crossroads Band" is on the fast track to stardom..
