Avenue Beat just released their debut single, “Ruin That for Me,” and during this time of social distancing, they’ve been generating tons of social media content to promote the song, to stay connected and simply to entertain people.
The band consists of three best friends, Sam Backoff, Sami Bearden and Savana Santos, and it turns out their name, Avenue Beat, was a last minute creation, thanks to the internet. Sam says, “So, picture this. We’re 14, in Quincy Illinois. We had to do some local talent competition and we needed a name, like last minute. And so, we went online and used an online band name generator.”
