About
The Band
The band was founded in late 2020 by Ricky Wells and Michael Tolbert, after a conversation of their shared love for the band culminated in an offhand remark about forming a tribute to godfathers of metal.
Before long, they were picking out a name, collating possible setlists, and starting their search for other musicians to finish the lineup. It would not be easy. It wasn't until summer of 2021 before they found Mike Debrei to play drums. Then, shortly after, bass player Page Castillo was recruited to fill out the lineup.
In 2023, Michael moved states, and the band continued in 2024 by bringing in vocalist Jimmy Starr to fill the challenging role of portraying Ozzy!
Our Focus
While everyone in the band can admire the likes of Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin, Ian Gillan, and the other vocal powerhouses that have fronted the band over the years, Snowblind is specifically a tribute to those early days with Ozzy at the helm. The setlists pull primarily from those first 6 incredible albums.
Snowblind is an endeavor to honor the music of Black Sabbath and bring the energy of those early days to the stage.
