DRUMS/ BACKUP VOCALS, BECKY RUSSELL:
Becky’s drumming started when she was 9 years old. She stole a pair of drumsticks out of her big brother’s room that he brought home from school. She began beating on the furniture. Then did the school band thing. At 15 she got into the ‘Spirit of Atlanta Drum and Bugel Corps’. When Becky moved to southern California she was in several touring bands in the west coast before getting the opportunity to play in Southern California with the ‘Guana Batz’ in the late 1990’s. Two of the boys from the Guana Batz started ‘Bonneville 7’.
Between playing drums and racing motocross, Becky continued playing in several working bands. Becky started ‘Bonneville 7’ back up with ‘Hard Fall Hearts’ front man Bryan Kelly and Eddie Montoya. They play all over Southern California. Later bringing in Ian 'Rocket' Watson, Sam 'Barefoot' Johnson and 'Wild' Bill Grubbs.
Becky has played in the Gas Lamp Quarter and all over San Diego County subbing and playing with 'Chill Boy', 'Big Rig Deluxe', 'Stilettos', 'The Robin Henkel Band' with Billy Watson and Kelly Rucker, 'Cash Kings', 'Big Daddy & the Money Shakers', 'Rip Carson', 'JumpStart', 'The Stoney B Blues Band', 'The Rhythm Ranchers', 'The Lance Dieckmann Band', 'Phil Diiorio Band', 'Sickstring Outlaws', 'Charles Burton Blues Band', 'Flipside Burners', 'Joe Wood & the Lonley One's' and many others. Currently Becky plays with ‘Bonneville 7’.
BASSIST/ BACK UP VOCALIST, IAN 'ROCKET' WATSON:
First of all, Rocket is from San Diego, California. He has played upright bass for 22 years now. He's been playing shows on E-bass for three shows, kidding. Rocket was in a band called 'Hard Fall Hearts' with Bryan. He is also in a band with members of the 'Shot Out Hoods'. When Rocket is not playing bass you can find him turning wrenches, sometimes for a living and builds custom cars. Currently working on three cars. He lives in a school bus, likes rare steak and is trying to quit smoking.
