Behind the Music

BIO

Made up of talented musicians from the Pacific NW, Black Dolly is full of soulful jams and smooth grooves. The BD band is a culmination of several years of development and recording. Started by Chris Newbury and his wife Wendy, the band was really formed by a desire for Chris to give Wendy a recording session for their anniversary.  Chris utilized the help of his long time friends and musical collaborators Eddie Ramirez(Israel Houghton, Johnny Ramirez), Frazer Wambeke(Frazer Wambeke Group), Luke Basile(Rainmaker Studios), and Ryan Matzinger(Ike Turner) to record the Dianne Reeves cover of Fleetwood Mac's hit "Dreams".  The project was enough of a success that Chris decided to formally pursue an official group. 
Building off of the success of "Dreams", this lineup of musicians continued to write and record more music, both original and covers.  Stay tuned for a full length release from BD entitle "Dreams" released in two parts later this summer.  
The summer of 2017 sparks the beginning of the public appearances for BD to go along with the release of "Dreams".
