Old Biography. Backseat Goodbye was created in August of 2004 by Chad Sugg in his college apartment set in Murfreesboro, TN. Chad began Backseat with just a few scratchy songs recorded through his laptop's inner microphone and placed them on the internet. Now a couple of years later Backseat Goodbye turned into something much more than a kid singing to the walls in his bedroom. BG has now; played shows with the likes of The Format and Hellogoodbye, been chosen to play 27,000 attendance festivals along with Third Eye Blind, had a cd debut at number 48 in the iTunes Top 100 Folk Album Charts, been chosen a PurePick and featured on the front page of PureVolume.com, sold out of a limited 100 pressed Christmas cd within only 7 hours, and so much more. Chad has written every Backseat Goodbye song and recorded every single one himself, with the exception of only 5 songs. He has also ran every other aspect of BG since the beginning, including booking all of his shows, getting press, attracting label attention and much more. Backseat Goodbye will always be the solo work of Chad, he plans adding a full band to play with him at live shows in the future, but even when that happens he will still be writing every bit of BG's material and playing all of the instruments on his albums. Backseat Goodbye has gotten this far by a 20 year-old kid from Clarksville, TN ... and yes, this is only the beginning...
