CDB: In The Beginning

Celia’s Damn Band aka CDB, established in 2022, came about through the shared connection and love of music between the band’s founders, Celia Marie and the late, beloved bluesman, Levi Lloyd. Celia, whose music career has been mainly singing backup vocals in various bands (CT Cruisers, Manzanita Moon, Sonoma Shakers) always wanted to do more lead vocals. In 2022, Levi helped Celia realize this dream by bringing together some of the best talent in Sonoma County.

CDB includes Ron Lacey, on keyboard & vocals (The Drifters, Coasters, Levi Lloyd and Friends, The Workshop); Tom Miller, on bass & vocals (The Workshop with Levi Lloyd, Gregg Allman & Friends, Alameda Allstars); Ian Lamson on guitar (Elvin Bishop Band, Rick Stevens (of T.O.P. fame), The Drifters Experience, MotorDude Zydeco, Blues Defenders); and, Brad Hoffman on drums (Hwy 12, The Dictator Tots).

CDB covers an eclectic mix of Rock, Blues and Jazz, including lesserknown tunes by Irma Thomas, Etta James and Bonnie Raitt. Not your typical cover band, the music reflects the unique tastes and passions of the players. CDB delivers a show that’s not to be missed!
