Bob was the Colorado Blues Society’s best slide guitar player in three years in a row. Rising bass star Alissa Chesis and Stefan Flores on drums ‘drive the bus’ and are a grooving rhythm section.

Born Into The Blues

Ollan Christopher Bell possesses an extraordinary gift: his voice. Taught from a young age by his mother, a professional singer, Ollan’s early foundations in gospel shaped his technique and passion, empowering him to master an array of musical styles. By age 10, he picked up the bass, and at 12, he performed his first
solo vocal act. Now, with over 50 years in the entertainment industry, Ollan continues to captivate audiences with his vocal precision and mastery across R&B, Soul, and Jazz.

In the 1970s, his group The Natural Four—managed by legendary Curtis Mayfield—became a five-time gold record
sensation and a defining voice from Oakland, California. Sharing stages with icons like Earth, Wind & Fire, The Temptations, and The Isley Brothers, The Natural Four became a fixture on Soul Train and Midnight Special. Ollan has since built a discography of over 200 songs, celebrated across the globe.

The Gabriel Mervine quartet brings pep to every step. Featuring joyous arrangements of tunes new and old.   This year’s Lindy on the Rocks ensemble will feature many special guests including Sweet B, Ian Hutchison, Jonathan Ng, and Sam Chess.  Please come sing and swing along!
