FORTY MILE DETOUR
“Authentic.American.Music.”.....that is how founding member Mark Yampolsky describes the Forty Mile Detour sound. It draws from many American music styles, blending elements of blues, rock 'n' roll, folk and bluegrass.

Forty Mile Detour has been performing their unique sound playing everywhere from craft beer houses to concert halls in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and in Nashville. “We love getting the opportunity to share our music” says Mark, “It is gratifying to see that our music is connecting with so many people.”
Forty Mile Detour plays their music from the heart, creating a sound that is true to the American spirit, the open road and the American dream.
