99.1 The Whale
Esquela, a band who members say are “a proud purveyor of Bovina Rock sound.” The band sings about topics we can all relate to; war, politics, relationships and everyone’s everyday life. Esquela is amazingly long in talent with original songwriting pushing forth a passionate rock sound with masterful lyrics that draws listeners in with a classic raw Americana Rock Sound. Featuring John “Chico” Finn on vocals and bass, Rebecca Frame on vocals, amazing Brian Shafer on lead guitar, Todd Russell on vocals and drums, Matt Woodin playing mandolin and guitar, Ira McIntosh-Guitar, mandolin and banjo, and Keith Christopher on guitar and the music director, these guys rock the Delaware Valley.
