HOLLY / LEAD VOCALS: As the lead voice of 90 WEST, her style is similar to many of today's popular country voices such as Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Sugarland, Gretchen Wilson, Natalie Maines of The Dixie Chicks and Jo Dee Messina. She has quickly established herself as one of Western New York's premier country vocal talents. Holly also placed in the top 10 in the W.N.Y. area preliminary to Nashville Star in 2004.
STEVE / DRUMS & VOCALS: Steve has played with a number of local bands in the Western New York area and has also toured extensively, from Philadelphia, P.A. to as far west as Alberta, Canada and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
DENNY / LEAD GUITAR & VOCALS: Denny is a card carrying member of the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame from his days with the band "Weekend." He also has played with a number of local country bands such as "Straight Shooter" and most recently "Bareback Jack". With his clean, country sound he has been an excellent addition to the band.
PAULIE / BASS & ELECTRIC STANDUP BASS: Paulie is one of the new members of the band, joining us in December, 2007. Holding down a solid bottom end, he has been an excellent addition to 90 WEST, and we're glad to have him.
FRED (PACO) / KEYBOARDS: Fred has played with 90 WEST for a little over 4 years. He came to us after an 8 year stint with the Stone Country Band and has played with other local country bands in the past. His great Honky Tonk piano style adds a nice touch to the 90 WEST band.
JANIE / FIDDLE, MANDOLIN & VOCALS: Janie has come to us with years of training and teaching classical violin and piano. Janie also has personally played for Vince Gill and the very well known Smokey Robinson. Although this is her first attempt at a country band, she's having a ball and we're glad to have her. Her talented fiddle playing has added a much needed third instrument to the band and her background vocals are a nice touch.
The 90 WEST band is a high energy country band covering various artists such as, Gretchen Wilson, Faith Hill, Sara Evans, Joe Nichols, Jake Owen, Toby Keith, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, Big-N-Rich, Martina McBride and many more. The band originated about seven years ago and continues to hold some of Western New York's top musicians. In they're brief existence, they have shared the stage with some of Nashville's brightest stars such as, Lee Ann Womack, Mark Wills, Cyndi Thompson, Joe Diffie, Chris Cagle, Jeff Carson, and Trace Adkins.

90 West kick some serious BUTT last night at the Attica Rodeo, I seriously wanna say that every time I watch the band play, I am more and more impressed with how good the band is and I enjoy watching you play. Holly really has a great attitude and really gets involved in her singing and the crowd. She makes it enjoyable for all who are attending your shows. I am going to try to get a group of friends to come to JT Wheatfields on September 26th to party with 90 West, I also will talk to the Roost about more dates for 90 West, Can't wait to see y'all again. ~ DJ StevieLee
