Biography
Faded Blue is amongst the fastest up and coming bands on the East Coast. By infusing their pop melodies with hints of reggae, rock, and even country, Faded Blue creates a refreshing sound that keeps bodies moving all night.
2008 and 2009 were extremely busy years for the band, performing over 200 live shows,and sharing the stage with such bands as; Colin James, Illscarlett, Joel Plaskett, and Hello Operator to name a few.
Faded Blue has spent the past year and a half touring Canada in support of their self-titled sophomore album. Their first single 'Turn it Up' was released and shot up the charts in the East Coast, and beyond, reaching #1 for 2 consecutive weeks on the East Coast Countdown. Their second release 'Midnight Moonlight Trip' followed suit by hitting #1 as well.
Faded Blue recorded their first full-length album ‘The Blue Mountain Gate’ at Feswick Productions in the summer of 2006. The album received heavy airplay all over the Maritimes with their singles ‘So Blind’, ‘Shout’, and ‘Jam In A’. Two of those songs spent many weeks in the top 10 of the nationally syndicated radio show ‘The East Coast Count Down’ (www.eastcoastcountdown.com). Another highlight for the band was ‘So Blind’ being announced as one of Q104’s Top 25 Homegrown releases of 2006!
Faded Blue is also no stranger to special events and festivals. The guys have played events such as Contact East 07’, ECMA 07’/08’, Privateers Days 07’ 08', Riverfest, Jack Frost Festival 08’, and Music Nova Scotia Week 06’, 07’ to name a few. The boys also made TV appearances on such shows as Breakfast Television and 'The Christmas Daddies Telethon 06’ where they wrote and performed their Christmas song ‘Here & Gone’ .
With a brand new album, and a third tour of 2008 to Ontario in their future, Faded Blue will be very busy. So be on the lookout for when you can have your chance to lose your mind to the sound that is FADED BLUE.
