The History of The Infernos and Bobby Wells

 
     
 

Bobby WellsSince I can first remember, I have always loved music. I began studying and performing music at the age 5. I dreamed of someday creating the greatest show band ever. When I finally did so, The Infernos legacy began.

I studied keyboards, vocals and arranging in college while earning a musical degree. I joined various renowned show groups on the East Coast and eventually became the Musical Director of the World Famous Duprees ("You Belong to Me", "Have You Heard"). I have traveled all over the globe and have met all types of people. This invaluable exposure to the world's many cultures has allowed me to learn what entertains individuals from all walks of life. This understanding helped me formulate the recipe for success thereby making The Infernos the best of the best in our field of entertainment.

I have been affiliated with some of the most talented entertainers in the world including: The Duprees, vocal recording artists since 1962; Lou Pallo (guitar player for The Les Paul Trio); Andy Schnitzer (saxophonist for The Rolling Stones tour); Nick Montemurro (percussionist for Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons); Alfred Nittoli (saxophonist, band leader, actor, songwriter and performer); Academy Award-winning actor Joe Pesci; actor Frank Vincent. Through their efforts and guidance I was able to realize my dreams and goals for the musical career of The Infernos. But the dream has only grown larger and now the future is ours.

The year 2002 marks a new beginning. We have founded a new record label called Rotunda Records and have negotiated a distribution partnership with internet megastore Amazon.com. This arrangement will allow The Infernos to distribute original recordings throughout the world via Amazon's global delivery network.

While I have always surrounded myself with the finest musicians, singers and entertainers throughout my 30+ years in the business, The Infernos and I have added a new spark to the 2002 lineup. This spark is none other than Kenny Simmons, former member of Motown Records three-time Grammy Award-winning group The Commodores. Kenny brings with him an aggressive showmanship that has turned The Infernos into the ultimate entertainment experience!

By hiring The Infernos you get a guaranteed successful affair second to none. You get the total package composed of live entertainment by the one and only Infernos, a disc jockey, lights, and an MC. The Infernos' repertoire contains all genres of music including Big Band, Oldies, 50s and 60s, Motown and today's top chart-busters. The Infernos are here to serve your musical and entertainment needs. We guarantee you will not be disappointed. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely Yours,

Bobby Wells
