The band consist of current members of Fleeting Rumours, West Brook & Swamp Tea, The Bandits, Ma Kelly’s Boys, etc – the cream of the North East Music scene

“Born out of the lockdown and a love of Americana Rock and Alt Country, The Bates Motel are high quality a 5 piece hailing from NE England. Initially drawing on the songwriting of frontman Bad Bob Bates, they’ve now released an EP of original band songs and are hitting the road to spread the love.”

Think Tom Petty meets Dan Baird with a dollop of Steve Earle and a touch of Robert John & The Wreck.  Guitars and harmonies to die for.
