What began as nothing more than a simple demo recording
has evolved into something WONDERFUL, and is still growing strong.
Too Far Gone began as a trio consisting of guitar and
mandolin player (Joey Doss), dobro(Jordan Roberson), and vocals(Carri Smithey).
Soon after the band was complete with the addition of Smithey-Family members
Josh(guitar/vocals) and Kevin(drums) as well as bass player Chris Comer.
The band was whole as of July 2010. With countless hours
of practice and determination the band was ready for their debut show, the
Shinefest in Madison, NC. and later were given a huge break by Bonnie Talyor
Reed from Back Porch Orchestra to open at the Fat Frogg in Elon. Since then,
the ball has been rolling.
TFG competed in and won the Battle of the bands at
Arizona Pete’s in March after being together for only eight months. Later in
the year, they worked their way to through the ranks of the Rise and Shine
competition and found themselves once again in a battle of the bands
championship against some of the best bands from east TN and Western NC.
Too Far Gone won the competition earning them a spot at
Shine Fest with the likes of Matt Stillwell The Black Lillies and Black Berry
Smoke.
Too Far Gone continues to grow as greater opportunities
come their way. Throughout the next year the band will be opening for many
National acts including Mountain Heart, IIIrd Tyme Out, David Adam Byrnes, and
Blackberry Smoke. Too Far Gone has grown to be a close-knit family with an
unbreakable drive to reach the top. For them, the sky is the limit.
