Somebody in Winchester is going to spend Saturday night two-stepping in a full inflatable dinosaur suit, and the band they will be doing it to is the Davisson Brothers Band. The West Virginia group headlines the Backseat Halloween Bash at Backseat Events on Saturday, Oct 31, with music at 8 p.m. and Melissa Quinn Fox opening, according to the venue's event page and its Tixr listing.

The night is billed as a costume-friendly party with live music, and it is 21 and over. Backseat's own site and Tixr show slightly different starting prices, so check the ticket page for the current number before you go — and expect that a Halloween Saturday is the kind of night that sells down late.

The Davisson Brothers Band is a family operation at its core: brothers Donnie and Chris Davisson, joined by long-time friends Aaron Regester and Rus Reppert. They come out of rural West Virginia and play a loud, high-energy blend of country, Southern rock and Appalachian roots — the kind of set that leans more on fiddle-and-guitar momentum than on ballads. Their 2018 album Fighter marked the stretch when they were working out of Nashville, and the band's official site is currently pushing the track "Home Is Where the Heart Is."

A Halloween Saturday is the kind of night that sells down late.

It has been a busy 2026 for them, too. The band took a week-long, six-show run through Queensland and New South Wales in Australia, and in August they hosted the Wild and Wonderful Country Fest back home. Winchester is a short drive from their West Virginia roots, which is part of why this booking makes sense: the Shenandoah Valley sits right on the border of the band's home turf, and a lot of the crowd will have crossed the state line to be there. This is, as far as our records show, their first Shenandoah Valley date with us on the calendar.

Backseat Events has become one of the valley's busiest rooms for touring country and Southern rock this year. Its calendar has carried The Travelin' McCourys, Struggle Jennings, Savannah Dexter and Rodney Atkins, with Little Ozzy coming Nov 28. It is a bar-and-stage setup built for a crowd that wants to move, which suits a band like this far better than a seated theater would.

What to know before going: it's 21+, so bring ID even if you look like a grandparent under the makeup. Costumes are encouraged but not required. Tickets run through the venue's Tixr page, linked here. Eat first or plan on the bar — this is a Saturday-night, late-finish kind of show.

There are plenty of Halloween parties in the valley this weekend. Wear something you can dance in.
