Damn good vibes. That’s what Bekah Kelso & The Fellas promise fans and supporters at every show. In their first year together, the indie-pop/soul band from San Antonio, Texas has been busy delivering.
It starts with Bekah Kelso, a “brass-knuckled bohemian” who spent years touring as a nomadic singer/songwriter, playing crowded festivals, quiet coffee shops, and everything in between. Her original songs, a clever brand of pop with flairs of R&B, hip hop, and world infusions, remind us of a more optimistic Amy Winehouse and a stranger Adele. They are honest and memorable, evolving at a fast clip after three solo albums and a year spent writing a “song-a-week” in the Global Soulwriters Group with some of the best singer/songwriters in Texas. Pair this with her soulful voice (a thing as big as her home state) and you’ll recognize the uncommon moxie that comes from natural talent and hard-won experience. Did we mention she’s a mom, too?
Now come The Fellas, comprised of long-time friends and family whose combined experience represents decades of musical love, study, practice, and live performance. With award-winning producer/engineer/composer Damian Rodriguez on bass, drum corps veteran and groove hound Ryan Kelso on drums, and seasoned composer/pianist Ricky Hernandez (a well-loved player in the San Antonio music scene since he was 13 years old) on keyboards and organ, the band has all the right brushes to paint a dynamic sonic picture. In addition to their well-rooted musicality, The Fellas represent the likeable energy of a might-as-well-be-family band, layering laid back grooves, new flavors, and complexity into Bekah’s already solid tunes.
