Bio's Backyard Biographical Info
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Backyard is a unique group featuring dualing veteran guitar slingers, tight rhythms, unique melodies and superb vocals. The original music is a mix of rock and blues, with just a twist of country blended in. This blend of styles gives the band a distinction and a signature sound of its own, and one that you will remember. 
From the tender age of ten years old, Edwin Matthew Rutkowski knew that music would be a part of his life. Even if it was only just jamming with the family at the annual Christmas gathering. And that's where our story begins. . . 
Art was born in Escanaba, Michigan in the Great White North. He was
exposed to music at a very young age, as both sides of his family had
musicians and singers. The first time he heard his uncles and aunts
playing guitar together, he was hooked. Growing up in the country, his
music influences included Hank Williams, Sr., Little Jimmy Rogers, and
various other country artists. 
Weaned on rock and roll is an understatement for Peter. Being born into the festering frenzy of the Beatle-mania era, with rabid fan sisters who ground up 45’s and mixed it into his baby formula, he never had a chance. 
Angel has over 25 years of experience singing. She has been in several bands ranging from classic rock, Christian rock, blues, and gospel. She loves performing, but mostly, she loves making a difference in someone when she sings. 
Richard "Dick" Miller acquired his first drum set at the age of 15. After just a few months, he began playing the bars in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with Tom Mercer & The Sound Society. While most teenagers worked at various part-time jobs, Richard made his money as a musician. Main Menu
