Welcome Mike "Darbs" Darbro to the Southbound Family!

Lead vocals and guitars

Darbs grew up in a small North Central Illinois town with 80’s metal shaping his first love for loud guitars and big vocals. He spent years grinding through NE Illinois cover bands, earning every stage the long way. Along the road, the punch and swagger of Jason Aldean‑style country pulled him in. Today, he brings that rock edge and country grit to Southbound Band Chicagoland — and he’s most humbled by the opportunity to play with a crew that keeps the boots moving and the party at full speed!
