Frequently Asked Questions
What songs to we know?
We cover nearly 40 of Van Morrison’s greatest hits. If you’ve heard it on the radio, and it's Van, there’s a 95% chance we play it. If it’s on the Moondance or Street Choir albums, there’s a 100% chance we play it.
How does Steve Nagle sound SO MUCH LIKE VAN??
We don’t know, but somebody is bound to sound just like him, and we’re glad Steve is our guy!
How long do we play for?
Most of our gigs are for 90 minutes or 2 hours, although we can play longer, if needed.
Where are we located?
We are located in Kitsap County, Washington, USA, and play shows mostly the the greater Seattle area. (For the search engine gods, we mostly play in Poulsbo, Bainbridge Island, Silverdale, Bremerton, and Kingston, WA).
Do we do any gigs outside the Puget Sound area?
We’re ready for a destination show. We have done Friday / Saturday double bookings before. We played the entire Street Choir Album plus a second set of just hits on Friday, then the entire Moondance album and a second set of just hits on Saturday. Make us an offer!

How did we start?
Retired Navy band musician, Roy Brown heard Steve Nagle sing some of Van’s tunes (solo guitar), and thought “HOLY HELL, this man needs a band…!” Roy found the best performing musicians in Kitsap County, wrote out a ton of charts, and got the ball rolling. We sold out every show until March 12th, 2020(…), and have sold out most of our shows since then. Our shows for the city of Bainbridge Island routinely draw over 2,000 people for their summer concert series, and we have sold out the Admiral Theater in Bremerton, which seats 999.
Is this the official Backstreet Jellyroll site?
Yes!!! “backstreetjellyroll.com” is ALSO our site, but we lost the login for it years ago… Hey, we’re musicians here!
