The Family Tradition Band is exactly that, “Family Founded” and “Tradition Based” from the ground up. They were molded by the greats that inspired them in Country Music such as Brooks & Dunn, George Strait and Alan Jackson. That foundation mixed with their Motor City Roots, some Southern Spirit and the ability to connect with any crowd they are put in front of, is what makes The Family Tradition Band truly unique. These guys bring a stadium quality experience to every small town Fair, Festival and Event they play.
They are led by the power duo up front featuring Mid-Michigan's own Randy Badour on Lead Vocals/Acoustic Guitar and Kyle Andrew of Metro Detroit on Lead Guitar & Vocals. FTB is a modern take on an old timeless classic sound which includes many traditional country elements such as fiddle, banjo and pedal steel guitar. This combined with spot-on vocal harmonies, dual electric guitars and a rock solid rhythm section is what creates the authenticity of the band. No gimmicks or backing tracks, just raw energy and talent. These guys continue to prove why they’re one of the Top Recognized Regional Country Acts!
