Blue Sour

Artist Information

Biography

Blue Sour is a New York City-area up-and-coming eclectic pop/rock band, combining the best of classic styles with today's touch.

The band was formed in Chile in 2007, with original members Benjamin "Kevin" Clarke (vocals), Juan Ignacio Garcia (guitar) and Javier Valenzuela (keyboards, bass guitar). Initially they came together as a cover band but soon they decided to assemble old musical ideas and incorporate new ones. After three years of writing and production, the band presented their first album in December 2010: "S.U.A.D."...a mixture of classic styles going through rock/pop/blues/funk, even reggae...all with an updated sound.

In early 2011 Javier returned to the U.S. to promote the project and form the team that would now be behind the music. The lineup initially featured Javier's former musical colleagues Jay Rivera on bass and Binh "Austin" Ledinh on guitar, as well as new members Andrew Long on vocals and Pablo Eluchans on drums. Binh, Andrew, Jay and Pablo moved on to pursue personal projects, while original member Juan Ignacio Garcia is back on guitar, cover scene veteran Mike Knuff took over lead vocals and the great Johnny Rock (John Roccesano) is behind the drums.

The band is currently hitting the stages of the NYC area and surroundings, spreading the word, while work on new music is already underway.
