Soul with steel guitar, Texas Funktry, however you name it Bubba Bellin is not your typical Red Dirt/Americana songwriter. He takes the steel guitar of 70’s Waylon, the dynamic vocals of 90’s R&B, and the lyrical storytelling of a great country song and presses it into a Bubba-stamped record.
Before the pandemic, Bubba spent the past four years loading in and out of dive bars and festivals across Texas with his own band and as a hired gun multi-instrumentalist playing pedal steel guitar, electric and dobro with some great Texas songwriters. His new single “New Man” reflects his depth as an artist, Bubba writing, singing, co-producing, and playing all guitar and pedal steel parts. Known for his high energy and dancing-friendly live show, Bubba might throw a two-steppin version of “Pony” by Ginuwine in between a honky tonk original and a Merle Haggard classic.
