Shelly - Lead Vocals
Perhaps one of the most important pieces to the talent that is Broadband is its’ creator and lead singer, Shelly Bush. A Missouri native, Shelly Bush’s passion for music began at an early age. From church choirs to school bands, Shelly sang wherever and to who ever would listen. Her self-taught piano skills and unique vocals were quickly noticed as she won several country talent competitions in her early teens. After winning a guitar at the age of 12, Shelly began dabbling in the world of songwriting. With the sounds of childhood favorites Alabama, Reba McEntire and the Judds in her head, she soon realized her destiny in music. After graduating college, Shelly packed her things and moved to Nashville where she started playing local bars and clubs. As she perfected her skills in Music City, she began working with songwriter Buck Moore and legendary producers Barry Beckett, Clyde Brooks and Dan Mitchell (co-writer of “If You’re Gonna Play In Texas, You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band”) who immediately saw her talents. Shelly’s unique voice alongside her bubbly personality work to make her the leader of the group.
Beth Garner - Lead Guitar
Born in Dallas, Beth Garner grew up watching musicians on stage. With the help and support of her family, she quickly realized that she belonged on stage. After touring with a Russian band for some time, Beth moved to Nashville in late 2007 where she immediately began playing the biggest downtown hot spots. As Broadband’s lead guitarist, Beth’s brings a mix of blues and rock-infused talent to the female five some. When she’s not working with the band, Beth also tackles managing a recording studio as well as teaching fitness classes. Beth also hopes to start a campaign that will one day help every musician get proper health care.
Anita - Drums & Vocals
There is no denying that South Dakota native Anita Hill makes her mark on stage. Another member of the band that seemed destined for country music, Anita began playing drums at the age of 13. After graduating high school, she took a whirlwind tour across the country playing with her family band, “Wild West.” The band gave her the rare opportunity to play with such talents as Dixie Chicks, Brad Paisley, Diamond Rio and many more. With the taste of glory, Anita moved to Nashville to pursue her own dreams where she joined Broadband and has never looked back.
Caitlin Nicol-Thomas - Fiddle
The final part to the girl-powered band is Cailtin Nicol-Thomas. The group’s token fiddle player, Cailtin childhood was spent tackling numerous musical instruments. Beginning with percussion then moving to the piano and violin, she found serenity playing music. Caitlin bounced from city to city pursuing her dream. While living in Los Angeles, she teamed up with producer John Gilbertson to release her debut album, Troubled Times, in July 2008. After graduating from the distinguished Berklee College of Music, she found herself playing in Nashville where she quickly met Shelly and joined Broadband.
Erin Holiman - Bass Guitar
Bright lights, big city. This was the theme of bassist Erin Hullman’s childhood. As she watched her dad play countless shows in the insanity that is Las Vegas, she knew a career in music was inevitable. At the ripe age of sixteen, Erin left what she knew and moved to Nashville to tackle the country music industry. After playing mostly as a solo musician for over four years in midst of downtown Nashville, she was eager to join Shelly Bush for the ride of her life. Musical influences Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Shelby Lynn are evident with each strum of her guitar.
Influences
Reba, Sugarland, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynett, Loretta Lynn, The Judds, The Eagles, Alabama, The Oaks. Any good "harmony" bands.
BroadBAND's lead singer Shelly Bush has a message just for you!
The band is broadBAND and as the self-effacing name implies all the members are women. The "gimmick" of having all women in a band is rendered a "gimmick" only because of the dearth of female back-up musicians in the music industry as a whole-tons of female singers but not so many gal drummers, guitarists, and fiddle players. But the "gimmick" wouldn't work if the music was just average-and apparently it isn't with this group as all of the members of broadBAND have impressive credentials. Individually and together they have opened for all the biggies in country music from George Jones and Dwight Yoakham to Rascal Flatts and Sugarland. Lead singer Shelly Bush has even sang the national anthem at a handful of Nascar races and several of them have included televised appearances.
There are few acts that showcase the talent and vocal ability than that of country sensation BroadBAND. The five-girl group seemed destined to find each other in the crazed and sometimes overwhelming streets of Nashville. After constant run-ins with each of the other four girls while playing downtown Nashville shows, Shelly Bush decided to take a chance to see what magic could be made if each girl’s unique talents were brought together as one. A mix of southern rock, pop and country girl power, the band has an immense ability to charm any crowd. In the past four years, the industry has also taken notice as the band has opened for such country stars as Sugarland, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Sara Evans, Brooks & Dunn, Dwight Yoakum and many more. Not only do their harmonies and musical talents set them apart, but also the rare mix of each girl taking lead through out their shows. Broadband would not have the talent that it does without each illustrious member.
