Dressy Bessy

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Denver-based indie-pop band Dressy Bessy was led by singer/guitarist Tammy Ealom, who began her musical career as a member of the little-known 40th Day; in time she left the group to focus on writing her own material, eventually joining the earliest incarnation of the Minders.

Denver's finest have crafted their most accomplished effort with a startling mix of rock, pop, and hip beats molded into a supergroovy vibe.
