VeloValo formed in 2014 amongst the towering pines of Flagstaff, Arizona. Comprised of-Chad Breen (vocals/Guitar), Robbie Watson (percussion), and Jonny Escalante(bass). VeloValo plays a unique brand of rock best termed as Spirit Rock; dynamic, powerful, and emotive. Comparisons have been made to Incubus, Paul Simon, Explosions in the Sky, U2, and Sabbath; though the overall sound is thoroughly new and singular.
Their debut, “The Lander LP”, was released in March of 2016 and was enthusiastically received by the AZ music scene; garnering label offers and opportunities to play even more music for even more people! The Lander LP was mixed by Jeff-Lusby of JLB Studios and was mastered by Phoenix-area legend Bob Hough, as auspicious a team as could be. From the opening track, ‘(Last to Leave) Cry’, to the eleven-minute ‘Real Cool Girl’, their debut release sums up a diverse sound stemming from the depth, feeling, and urgency of three lives lived for music.
Arizona is a state filled with musicians making great music. VeloValo intends to do their part to help shed a light on the desert state, with their new sounds and fresh energy.
