Finding Stella entered the San Francisco music scene and we can say without exaggeration that the world will never be the same! (too much? sorry... anyway...) Their music integrates the classic rock and pop spirit of the 70s and 80s with a newer, warmer rock quality that has been drawing new audiences from along the West coast and beyond.

The
Bell Brothers

Cupcakes
Russ and Scott Bell grew up in Houston, Texas before moving to California in 1980, but country roots had set in and there was no escaping that southern twang influence. The Bell Brothers deliver original but familiar sound through their blend of highly energetic country and roots rock. Their harmony voices weave tightly together to produce a signature style achieved by a lifetime of singing together as brothers. Over the years Russ and Scott have been influenced by artists such as Roy Orbison, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, Rascal Flatts, Alabama, and The Eagles. Through their original songs, the Bell Brothers express heartfelt sentiments as well as humor and good times- all things that they enjoy sharing with friends and family and are continually living life to explore and refine. Their songwriting has been acknowledged, with several of their original works being picked up by Sherrill Blackman, Universal South, Hit Writers and Sony Nashville. The Bell Brothers have opened up for many top Nashville country acts including Rascal Flatts, Jason Aldean, Chris Cagle, Phil Vassar, and Emerson Drive...to name a few. With years of performance experience, the Bell Brothers have an exciting, intuitive, very live, and energetic stage presence in any venue.

 Buzztones Date:
June 26, 2011 Forming in the late seventies and rising to local glory in the early eighties, the Buzztones started as a band to pay the respective members rent while they worked on “real” music projects. Predictably, all of the “real” music projects went up in flames, while the public seemed to really pick up what the Buzztones were putting down. They were a mainstay on Wednesdays at Abernathy’s in Walnut Creek and Mondays at Mountain Jacks in Lafayette. What they put down was a collection of British Invasion, out of the way American gems, and any song they loved. Mixed in was a healthy dose of big laughs, inside jokes, and infectious new dance crazes. Some embarrassing eighties hairstyles were included although most existing photographs have been confiscated and destroyed. The Buzztones have been sighted very few times in recent years. Some people think they joined an exotic cult, or started doing singing telegrams, or got into barbershop quartet competition. These rumors are only partially true. The band stopped playing together for many years, but forgot to break up. It is always a blast when they get together. Dave is currently fronting “Dave Martin’s House Party”, Alan drums for “Dream Posse” and also plays with Ken in “Mersey Beach”. Dan plays in “LUMBERYARD” and does solo acoustic work. Ken can also be found playing solo acoustic. The Buzztones were and are: David Martin - Vocals, Guitars Ken Cooper - Vocals, Guitars Dan DeShara - Vocals, Guitars, Bass Guitars Alan Thiele - Vocals, Drums, and no guitars
