    Mesa Blue is : Will Bell , Anton Teschner , and George Erickson.                                                                               Mesa Blue is a bluesy rock band that plays “music for the soul”  from danceable Honky Tonk tunes to laid back Southern rock and blues. You will enjoy the energy and foot tapping tunes that this band delivers.                                  Will Bell grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a city known for its musical heritage and famous musicians that launched the “Tulsa Sound”. He and several lifelong friends, formed a band after high school called “Nuthin Fancy” and began playing the local beer joints and clubs in the Tulsa area. The band soon had one of their original songs playing regularly on the FM stations and bookings at the famous Cain’s Ballroom, and other classic Tulsa venues soon followed. After playing in the Tulsa music scene for several years, Will decided to take his music to Santa Fe, NM., to a new audience and more opportunity in the ski resort entertainment circuit. Will joined several successful bands , including The Range Busters, and The Emergency Blues Band. Will then began fine tuning his guitar and vocal skills,  performing in the Southwest and heading up to the Northwest music scene as well , this lead  to an opening show at his first large concert performance, joining the “Jefferson Starship Unplugged “ tour playing and performing at the prestigious Mt. Baker Theatre, in Bellingham, Wa., Will and his music partner Wayne Hayton received rave reviews from the press. Spending several years playing in the Northwest, Will began performing at ski resorts and  festivals in the Sun Valley, and Boise, ID.,  areas. In 2008 Will released his album “Once in a Blue Moon” recorded in Boise. His album was released on ITunes, Spotify, and other major streaming services. The album is  currently listened to and streamed by fans all over the world.

    Will has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Grammy winning , and multi platinum musicians, including : Eddie Money, David Lee Murphy, The Kentucky Headhunters, Bruce Willis and the Accelerators, and Coco Montoya among others. In 2023, Will performed at the Hard Rock and  The Blues Cafe in Memphis Tn., with a band called “ The Reckless Shots” based out of  South Florida, where the  band was voted in to the semi-finals at the International Blues Challenge.
