About For more than 12 years The Blue Breeze Band has been providing Southern & Central California with the finest Motown R&B Soul Funk and Jazz & Blues Live dance Party music!
Harold Wherry
With 30 years of significant experience working on and off
the stage as a professional guitarist Harold decided just over 12+
years ago to start his own band. The BLUE BREEZE BAND specializes in
providing concert quality "Motown R&B Soul Funk and Jazz &
Blues" music for Weddings & Special Events.
During the past years Harold has also worked with countless brides, grooms and wedding & event planners establishing himself and the Blue Breeze Band as a source for the highest quality Live Music entertainment.
Harold’s stylistically wide-range and soulful guitar playing have a unique way of catching the collective ear. During his formative years, Harold was influenced by a steady diet of R&B, blues and jazz on the club scene in Los Angeles, and he, himself, has contributed immeasurably to that very scene as a professional musician. As a teenager he backed soul/R&B singer Bobby Byrd (stage name: Bobby Day) hit songs: “Rockin Robin”, “Little Bitty Pretty One” Over & Over and since then has performed with a Coasters tribute band, a Marvelettes tribute band and with various Motown R&B Soul bands throughout Los Angeles and southern California.
