Shortly before Christmas we had the opportunity to catch BullyWest perform at the DNA Lounge for the Jingle Bell Rock and Metal Fest. It was great to see the band perform again as they blew us away when we saw them at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma earlier this year. They once again proved to be a band to not miss when they come playing at a venue near you. The powerful trio of rockers deliver a sound that blends everything from grunge/rock/alternative/blues/americana and classic rock into their own unique style that will capture your attention every time.
We featured vocalist, Manny Velez as Day 8 of our 12 Days of Vocalists and you can read more about that here: Day 8 of 12 Days of Vocalists. In addition to featuring Manny Velez on guitar and vocals, you have Shane Delea on bass who can rock out as well as deliver some sweet blues on his bass. To round out the trio, you have Bernt Strom on drums giving 150% as he is ferociously spot on as well as kick ass backing vocals. It is so apparent that Manny is passionate with his music and he brings that out in each and every song he performs. He can convey an intense punch of emotion as he sings and achieves such depth with rich tones in his voices that immediately grabs a hold of you. What is also amazing about this band is that each of the members feed off each other’s energy which leads to ignite the fire of talent that is brewing within them. Check out photos from their set by our Rockin Ryan:
