Description:
Blessed Yes is a four-piece, girl-fronted band that combines drums, bass and electric guitar with keys, a rhodes, synthesizers and drum loops.
Genre:
Indie / Rock
History:
It was less than a year ago when it all began. Even then it was only something simple. Just two people playing in a coffee shop, trying to create something worthwhile. Brooke Waggoner supplied the songs, piano, and vocals with Adam Amoroso accompanying her on guitar. But as with life, music must also follow a progression into greater depth and complexity. So it was only natural when Zach Ingram (sponsored by Pork Pie drums) joined Blessed Yes, elevating their music above mere coffee shop strummings. The line-up was completed with the addition of Jordy Wax on bass, who brought a light-hearted and comic quality to the band. Since then Blessed Yes has been building its audience through constant shows and the release of their self-titled EP.
Who are they like? Often compared to a female-sounding Coldplay.
