BLAME BETTY: OUR MUSIC IS ABOUT REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCES AND OBSERVATIONS, WITH A TWIST OF HUMOR AND SATIRE

“Who is to Blame, anyways? I’d like to know. I’m just posing a question. We actually would really like some answers.” - George Comes

“We put our nose to the grindstone to give you a little taste of all the music that we love” - Bobby Villa

San Diego rockabilly band, Blame Betty, has released their LP, “ Who’s To Blame?” with 14 songs of American music written by George Comes and Bobby Villa. “Who’s to Blame?” includes elements of Rock, Blues, Country, R&B and Jazz music. The album was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by George Comes and Bobby Villa under the Sugar Bowl Records label.

Instrumentation includes guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and a horn section comprised of April West (Sue Palmer Band, DXP and Euphoria Brass Band) and loclal sideman, Jonny Viau (Sue Palmer Band) along with a few quirky sounds from stylophone and kazoo used to good efffect.

George and Bobby with drummer, Jim Buehl have played together for 20 plus years and developed a unique sound influenced by the raw, energetic and sparse instrumentation of the Sun Records era, the distinctive reverb-heavy guitar instrumentals of Southern California Surf, and roots music, encompassing a wide range of American musical genres.

"Who's Betty??? We need answers!" Blame Betty stormed onto the rock scene in 2019 with an electrifying blend of rockabilly, roots rock, and surf music that pulls straight from the golden age of Sun Records. Inspired by legends like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, the San Diego-based trio – George Comes (guitar/vocals), Jim Buehl (drums/vocals), and Bobby Villa (bass/vocals) – channels vintage vibes with a modern edge.

With 20 years of experience playing together in various musical groups, Blame Betty has honed their craft delivering a dynamic sound that's both nostalgic and fresh. Blame Betty delivers tight musicianship, lush three-part harmonies, and an infectious energy that's hard to resist. Their growing local fanbase and social media buzz have solidified their place as ones to watch, culminating in a Best Rock Album nomination from the San Diego Music Awards Academy. Nostalgic yet fresh, Blame Betty is here to rock your world!

Blame Betty was nominated for Best Rock Album by the San Diego Music Awards Academy in 2024 for our EP, "Big Betty's Alright!", available on all major streaming platforms.
