The Bellwether333 S Boylston St, Los Angeles 90017
Sister Nancy & The Fully Fullwood Band play The Bellwether in Westlake, with DJ Mysta Crooks also on the bill. The night brings the billed collaboration to the venue’s main room, where a 270-degree balcony wraps around the floor and offers elevated sightlines toward the stage. It is a general-admission show, with access to both the dance floor and balcony.
The available information does not provide a history or lineup for the Fully Fullwood Band as billed here. Fully Fullwood is identified elsewhere as a Jamaican reggae bassist, composer, producer and musician. He is a leader of the Soul Syndicate Band and was a member of Peter Tosh’s Word, Sound and Power. Sources also describe him as a Soul Syndicate co-founder and note his work with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Sister Nancy and many other artists. Those accounts concern Fullwood himself rather than this particular touring formation, so they do not establish which musicians will appear with Sister Nancy or what the group’s set will include.
The Bellwether’s defining feature is a broad, 270-degree balcony that wraps around its main room, giving concertgoers a choice of floor or elevated viewing with a view toward the stage. The room has a wooden dance floor, a long bar along the back wall and a custom sound system; shows are general admission, with both the main floor and balcony included in a regular ticket. It is a ticketed live-music venue, and the lineup and door times vary by show. Before doors, you can get sourdough pizza, snacks or a drink at The Virginian, the in-house restaurant and lounge, which opens an hour before doors. The venue is just west of downtown Los Angeles, in Westlake, near the 110 freeway.
