Bio
Stevie Nicks and James Taylor's funky-soulful musical love child!
Black Dolly has a classic sound in a modern era that's fresh but takes you back to the classic sounds of the 70's and 80's. 3 of the 5 members are full time music educators so this band is a manifestation of practicing what you preach!
"The Other Side" is the newest single that will be out June 12!
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. The group is has now added Tim Zilar(guitarist) and frequently collaborates with other musicians as well!
Building off of the success of "Dreams", this lineup of musicians continued to write and record more music, both original and covers. Their debut album "Dreams" was released in 2018.
