About The Band



Beddy Ford fronted by singer/songwriter/producer Pete Masitti (Hootie and the Blowfish, Shakira, Julio Iglesias Jr.) kind of came together on its own. As Pete M tells it, "I had just finished producing Julio Iglesias Jr's record and we were auditioning guys for his touring band. We had about 25 guitarists, 20 drummers and 15 bass players audition. When we auditioned guitar players, Alex Garcia blew everyone else off the stage. The guy just burns on guitar and made most of the other guys sound like amateurs. To pick our bassist and drummer we rotated guys in and out of the rhythm section and it was clearly evident that Juan Carlos Arango aka Juanka was the man for the bass spot and that Pete Vega was obviously the man for the drums. Together they laid down some rock solid grooves and with that. Julio, now had his band.



Alex Garcia (fills in the next gap). "A good portion of Julio's record were songs that Pete (Masitti) had cut in English on his second solo album Turn Around and so when Julio's tour ended, I approached Pete and the guys with the idea of putting something together."



Masitti (jumped back in at this point). I had been working pretty exclusively in the studio for a few years and was itching to play again so I jumped on the opportunity. The band was great (they were all guys that I respected musically) and were just really cool people. After the first rehearsal, I knew we had something special and couldnt let it go to waste. We started by putting together some of my old material and doing some shows and then progressed in to recording a new record. The end result is Hollywood Ending. It certainly has a band sound imprinted on it, which each guy brought to the table.



Adds Pete Vega. "We wanted to make it (the record) sound like us on stage with a just a touch of studio gloss. We are all really proud of the project and look forward to recording more songs."



Beddy Ford is currently seeking management.
