The Silvertones: Texas Blues is a band that been a staple in the North Texas Music scene for over 27 years. Founded in 1993 by Brian Wicker and Kyle Copeland. The original line-up included Joe Williams (bass), Brent Childers (drums) and Bill Jones (vocals). Their inaugural gig was at The Filling Station in Terrell, Texas. Like many bands, The Silvertones have had several line-up changes throughout the years. One of the most influential Silvertones members was Walter Delesandri on lead guitar. Sadly, Walt passed away in 2003 from a massive heart attack and he is still greatly missed.

Each member that has moved through the band brought their own style, soul & contributed their talents to The Silvertones reputation as a “killer” live blues band, in addition to being a four-time winner of the Dallas Observer Best Blues Band award. Since 2012, the band's lineup has solidified with original member and founder, Brian Wicker on bass, Randy Ball on drums, Leo De La Vega on guitar, and Rob Donavan on lead guitar. The Silvertones’ set-list, with about half being original, reflects the various influences that the band members grew up listening to. Their sound is primarily blues, with a hint of jazz, and an infusion of swing, rockabilly, and rock & roll.

Averaging 80 gigs a year, you can see The Silvertones live at Dallas and Fort Worth music festivals, clubs, restaurants, and even at Fort Worth Swing Dance Society dances. You can also book The Silvertones for private parties. The Silvertones, to date, have recorded five CDs starting with their freshman album, Cruisin, self-produced in 1999, Hot in The Hole, recorded live in July 2002 at The Hole in the Wall in Dallas, Texas. In 2005, The Silvertones signed with Deep South Productions in Austin and recorded Ride in My Cadillac in 2005, You Got Me Spinning in 2011, and Silvertone Avenue in 2014.

With varied ensembles, the Silvertones have been together for over twenty years now. And as you'd expect, that length of time has taken them down many roads. As a matter of fact, the title of their fifth CD is symbolic of those roads because it's no different than any of them. Over the years "Silvertone Avenue" has presented many twists and turns and lots of obstacles for the guys. Yet, according to them, one thing never changes - the desire to keep driving down that road. Keep on truckin' guys. I'm sure the people you've passed on those roads are happy you made the drive.

On "Silvertone Avenue", the Silvertones consist of: Randy Ball on vocals, tambourine, washboard and drums; Leo De La Vega on vocals and electric & acoustic guitars; Rob Donavan on vocals, backup vocals, electric & acoustic guitars, dobro and slide & baritone guitars; and Brian Wicker on vocals, backup vocals and bass. Other riders on this trip include: Chuck Ward on piano, organ and horns; Joanna Ramirez on backup vocals; George Coyne on guitar; Ponty Bone on accordion; Mary Ann Broussard on tambourine; and Jamie Connally on laughs. The CD contains thirteen tracks with all being band originals. ~Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro
