Biography
Welbilt formed in April 2002 in Fairfax, Virginia, when four young musicians from different bands decided to stop crossing paths and get on the same one. Welbilt originally consisted of Nate Ihara, guitar and lead vocals; Buddy Speir, guitar and backup vocals; Bill Ledbetter, drums; and Nick Briscoe, bass. In 2006 Nick and Bill Ledbetter parted ways with the band and was replaced with Matt Waller, bass and backup vocals and Mike Smirnoff, drums.
One month after the formation of Welbilt, Washington, DC radio station DC 101 singled out them out as the most promising independent band in the region on the strength of a self-produced 2002 EP sometimes called “The Blue EP” (Blue) The basement recording was evidence of what DC 101 called a contagious brand of upbeat modern rock, and together with blistering live performances, Welbilt had hooked the radio station. Next: a string of high-profile shows and national awards, a year of touring before an expanding fan base, and recording sessions in Los Angeles with platinum-selling producer Mudrock (Godsmack, Chimaira).
The resulting full-length debut, A Beautiful Mess, was released in December 2003 to a big thumbs-up from fans and critics. “Impressive songwriting…convincing vocals…sonically vibrant” raved the Washington Post, saying “Welbilt delivers on its promise.” Fans loved the new tunes, instantly accessible yet built to stand up over time.
Welbilt spent 2004 touring behind A Beautiful Mess with the support of Budweiser True Music and the fans who make it all possible.
