The Buddy Blake Band

Great musicianship and improvisation that elicits great sound and effect from covers that are familiar to the audience. Interesting and pleasing.

The interior is made up of Buddy Bolter (Lead Guitar) and Blake Bell (vocals, rhythms), while under the hood is Tom McMillan (Bass) and Bob Matteson (Drums).

Meet The Buddy Blake Band: a modern classic rock band hailing from Pensacola, Florida. With a rock and roll drive reminiscent of The Who, and influences like Zeppelin, REM, Grand Funk and Counting Crows, their sound is a harmonious blend of nostalgia and fresh vibes.

TBBB features the pairing of two dynamic duos Buddy Bolter on lead guitar and Blake Bell on vocals, rhythm guitar, and keys, and Bob Matteson on drums and Tom McMillan on bass, keys, and guitars that hold down the rhythm section.

The Buddy Blake Band is a self-contained band, handling everything from writing and recording to producing and promoting their music. Their unique sound, though familiar, captivates listeners with a universal appeal.

Recording their basic tracks "live in studio”, they have honed their process over time, ensuring an authentic and energetic sound. With over a hundred tracks on SoundCloud and counting, their blistering recording schedule and continuous flow of new ideas keep the music fresh and exciting.
