This episode of Big Blend Radio features Stephen Dees and Pete Hewlett of Novo Combo, the 1980s rock band known for their electrifying blend of rock and pop. Hear about their new album, 45 West 55th, and their reunion to make it happen.
Novo Combo founding members include Stephen Dees (lead vocals/bass), Jack Griffith (lead guitar), Pete Hewlett (vocals/guitar), and drummer Michael Shrieve, who is a Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductee for his mesmerizing 70s era drum work with Santana. Shrieve’s explosive performance with Santana, as a then 20-year old, on Soul Sacrifice at the original Woodstock, is widely regarded as one of the best live drum performances in rock history.
In the early 1980s, Novo Combo embodied a lively fusion of rock and pop; creating catchy, danceable tunes that captured the spirit of the era with their infectious melodies, punchy guitar riffs, and dynamic rhythms that captured the era's essence. Out now on digital streaming platforms and CD through their label WildRoots Records, "45 West 55th" offers fans a nostalgic yet fresh musical journey. Visit https://www.wildrootsrecords.com/
