Bellwether Breaks

Bellwether Breaks has a groove so irresistible it won’t let you walk out the door. This band draws its life blood from slinky 60’s soul and early rock ‘n’ roll, with a smattering of angular 90’s grit. Their songs are fun and familiar yet unpredictable, like a confident lover with an acceptable number of red flags.

“You can see it and feel it…they just lean in and let the groove do its thing.” say Frank DeBlase, music writer for Rochester’s City Newspaper.

Elyse, Pete, Eugene, Chris, and Dave happily call Rochester their home, where they were forged in the fires of the vibrant local scene, the Eastman School of Music, and just plain honest living. With hints o Amy Winehouse, Otis Redding, Angel Olsen, and even Weezer, Bellwether Breaks puts a modern spin on retro nostalgia with their seriously catchy sound.
