There is an eight-piece band that is bringing a new fresh sound to rock and they are called, The West Coast Feed. With a band sound that is inspired by the great bands hailing from Memphis, Muscle Shoals and New Orleans, they are generating a modern and electrifying rock-soul experience. Their sound is grounded by charismatic front man Jesse Butterworth that is supported by violin, three horns, a driving bass and drum rhythm section and energetic guitars.

Philanthropic support is a central theme to the band’s mission as they have partnered with two non-profit organizations for benefit shows: charity water, and All God’s Children International. The latter group, an organization that cares for orphans and facilitates international adoptions, is especially close to Jesse’s heart, as it provided a path for him and his wife to adopt their Ethiopian-born daughter Harper. Their adoption journey captured in the band’s lively debut single “You Belong to Me,” a heartfelt song of love and devotion.  The band has released a ten track self-titled album that is collection of tunes from a band that loves making music and is making a difference. That’s the short of it!

Positives:

The West Coast Feed has it all: strong front vocals, solid vocal harmonies, interesting instrumentation and hip horn writing, driving guitars and solid bass and drum support.

Bottom Line:

The West Coast Feed is feeding our souls with rock tunes with a flair of soul. From the soulful horns and violin that support Jesse Butterworth’s great singing to the well-crafted tunes, this band brings it. The band has a plenty of hooks, horns and guitar riffs on their new self-titled album, The West Coast Feed. The songs are written with catchy melodies and song forms that offer plenty of surprises while still being grounded in the authentic sounds of the great Muscle Shoals bands. Resulting in a collective idea that has elements of Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Joe Cocker all rolled up into a modern West Coast Feed! So do yourself a favor and get a healthy plateful, and feed your soul.
