The Billy Blues Band

  • The Billy Blues Band was started in  early 2017 to entertain with  contemporary blues rock, rock & roll and funky soul at private parties, festivals and upscale venues in the general Boise, Idaho area. The band features vocalists Michele Eastland and Becky Blake who blast out their songs and control the stage with their energy.  Both Michele and Becky are professional singers and actresses, which accounts for their dynamic stage presence.  Lead guitarist, Dana DeVice, plays with the soul of a blues master with his heart felt riffs.  The band organizer-manager, vocalist and rhythm  guitarist, Billy Arnold promotes a new generation of blues rock, along with the classics in both blues, rock and funky soul.  The blues band also includes solid rhythms by Bass Player, Terry Jones and Drummer, Brian Sweet.  Dale Massee, our harp, keyboard player, and vocalist, has been playing music in Boise bands for years. Book us if you enjoy dancing to high energy blues mixed with a little rock and soul!

Boise Blues Society Review 

We were so excited last night to get to witness the world premiere performance of our BBS Board member Bill Arnold's new band, Billy Blues Band!!

 
Many of you know these musicians and will remember Becky Blake from when she showed up at a jam session at The Drink a while back and just blew everyone away with her awesome, passionate performances. Michele Eastland is also well known to us for the same reasons, incredible voice, passionate delivery. Put those two together with a great group of musicians like this and you're gonna have an amazing sound.. one our sold-out crowd at the Sapphire was certainly thrilled to hear and has been asking "where are you playing next?" 


Stay tuned, we're pretty sure we'll be seeing this group again soon and we'll have more video for you soon as well.

 
Look for the band's page here and on Facebook and let 'em know how much you enjoy their music.  by Ron Gardner
