Back Forty is all about helping out the community.
We have played many shows to help out many causes.
We organized and performed at Kidstock to help out three kids who lost both their parents in tragedy, Food Gatherers to help feed the hungry, events for orphans in need of homes, events to help at risk youth, to raise money for music scholarships for kids whose families can't afford instruments or lessons, and many more. Do you have a cause you would like us to support and help out with? Let us know. Email us at community@backfortymusic.com. We can't do them all, but we would love to know what you care about and help if we can.

Back Forty would like to thank all of you who make it out to the shows, dance all night to the funkgrass, visit our webstore, and tell your friends about us and get em out to the shows. Thanks so much for making the last three years so great!
