MEET THE BAND
ED TISSUE - Lead Vocals
An Everett native, Ed has been lead vocalist with multiple Seattle area bands for the past 30+ years, performing with 8 Feet Standing, The Penguins, Triple Shot, Rear View Mirror, American Vinyl, and currently provides amazing front man talents for both Bell Bottom Blues and Feelin' Alright (Joe Cocker tribute).
SCOTT DONALDSON - Guitar
A Seattle native with over 25 years' experience performing in the Pacific Northwest, Scott enjoys a variety of musical styles and currently plays in a number of bands in addition to Bell Bottom Blues, including Taylor Made (James Taylor tribute), Wasted Words (tribute to The Allman Brothers), Reckless (Bryan Adams tribute), and Feelin' Alright (tribute to Joe Cocker).
In addition, Scott plays with the Trailer Park Kings (70's Classic Rock), Rival of Kings (original Hard Rock band), and with Brian James, playing both original and current popular music.
JIM SAVERY - Bass
Originally from Boston, Jim got his start playing in New England-area cover bands. After touring as a bassist and trumpet player with the USAF Bands, Jim moved to Seattle where he plays bass not only with Bell Bottom Blues but also PNW bands such as The Luxury, Mojo Circus, Taylor Made (James Taylor tribute), and Feelin' Alright (Joe Cocker tribute).
Rick Bourgoin - Percussion
Rick was born with drumsticks in his hands. Well, not literally, of course. That’s just wrong. And physically improbable. He did take up the drums at a young age, however, playing in legendary bands Frenchface, Oldsmobile on Fire, and Rodann. Rick’s studies in astrophysics, nanotechnologies, animal husbandry, and modern dance set him up for a bright future. But the pull of the drums (a real thing, apparently) was just too much. With stints in The Impacts, Avalon, The Bastard Kings, The Shreds, The Jackson Taylor Band, Random Manor, Curtis Moore and the Stone Blind Horses, Petty Thief (Tom Petty tribute), and the seminal Seattle band, The Heats, Rick has earned his reputation as the guy you want bashing behind you. In addition to Bell Bottom Blues, Rick also plays with Feelin' Alright (Joe Cocker tribute).
JOHN HAGE - Organ/Piano
Welcome, John!
Details coming soon...
ELAINE SKEFFINGTON - Backing Vocals
Elaine has been performing in one form or another since her East Coast childhood. With training in voice, ballet, theater, piano, and flute, she has appeared with choirs at the New England Conservatory of Music and supporting productions of the Pennsylvania Ballet. Since moving West, Elaine has appeared on KIRO-7 TV and shared stages with many of Seattle's top musicians (Overton Berry, Brian Monroney, Chad Quist, Frank Seeberger, and more). She currently performs with multiple local bands including Bell Bottom Blues, Feelin' Alright
(Joe Cocker tribute), GeorgeFest - Seattle (a musical celebration of George Harrison), and The TROPICS (party/dance band), and was also half of the
acoustic duo IvyLane for 15 years.
