MANNY B.

Manny B. began his lifelong love affair with music at age three by studying piano. The son of a concert violinist, Manny studied classical guitar in Barcelona, Spain, and signed his first recording contract with Reprise Records at age 13. He has toured with Gladys Knight and The Pips, Wayne Cochran & the CC Riders, Hall & Oates, The Grass Roots, and many other prominent entertainers and musicians.

Manny B. has dazzled audiences all over the USA, from LA to Chicago to New York, and all over the musical spectrum, from Santana to Segovia to Stevie Ray Vaughn. His guitar artistry is spectacular!

Manny B. is Rock 'n Roll...Latin Rock...R&B, but above all, Manny B. is a musician and entertainer who puts his all into every song and show.


After being gone almost a year and a half, drummer Donnie Watts is back rockin' with Manny B. He has played drums for such legendary performers as The Drifters, Del Shannon, and The Platters. Having performed with such stars at a young age, Donnie brings spice, experience, and many other ingredients that make this band "cook".

Welcome back, Donnie. We missed you!

PAPA PHIL


Papa Phil has been dancing, singing, and slapping his bass guitar for 9 years with Manny B.! His 8 years of leading his own group in Reno, NV, adds more experience, professionalism and talent to the group.

You can’t help but notice that million-dollar grin, and that kind of contribution is priceless. From the first note to the last, each performance he gives is from his heart…
and always with a smile!

 

Brett Brandon, from Nashville, TN, brings a new look and a new sound, with his unique guitar, keyboard, and vocal talents. His professional and technical knowledge and abilities are wonderful additions to the band.
