The Kelly Bell Band To Host CD Release Party At WTMD Studios

Forming 24 years ago as the backup band for rock n’ roll pioneer Bo Diddley, blues journeymen The Kelly Bell Band have spent their career proving that their music knows no bounds. Transcending time, trends and tribulations, the Baltimore-based group has happily lived on the fringe when it comes to their genre-defying music and their latest release shows they are ready to go even further.

Know My Name, which Bell says is the most “progressive record to date,” features elements of rock, metal, hip hop and blues and will be released Friday, April 26 during a special record-release party at WTMD Studios.

Bell says that the songs encompass a heavier, more rock-driven vibe with groove-infested melodies that can only be describes as “Phat Blues.”

Fueling his creativity and dedication to “bringing the credit back to the blues”, as Bell explains, is his long-time band of brothers in the Kelly Bell Band. Comprising Dane Paul Russell (Harmonica), Frankie Hernandez (Bass/Vocals), John Robert Buell (Drums/Vocals), Rahsaan “Wordslave” Eldridge (Vocals/Percussion) Ryan Fowler (Guitars/Vocals) and Eric Robinson (Guitars/Vocals), the group plays an integral role in influencing their signature sound.

Bell also enlisted some heavy hitters to make special appearances on the record, most notably Dave Tieff of Laughing Colours, Julie Cymek of Sweet Leda, and Justin Schlegel of the 98 Rock Morning Show in Baltimore.
