When the Bleu Edmondson Band perform live you get, part concert, part circus, part revival - it's an experience that will lift you up and gently set you back down with a smile on your face. Bleu Edmondson was born in Dallas, TX and raised on a wide variety of music from Robert Cray and the Neville Brothers to Robert Earl Keen and the Allman Brothers. Shortly after leaving school in Austin, TX and following a brief hiatus back home in Dallas in late '96, Bleu moved down to College Station to attend Texas A&M. There he befriended Scott Owen, who played lead guitar for Roger Creager, and later Owen Temple, who began to show Bleu a few things on guitar. With Scott's help, along with a roommate of his, he was able to put music to his "songs". Shortly after picking up guitar, Bleu began bouncing around Bryan and College Station from open mic to open mic, honing his skills, both on guitar and interacting with an audience. Slowly but surely his songwriting, guitar playing, and rapport with a live audience matured. In mid '98 Bleu moved back up to Dallas to form a band and give it a shot. As the band began to gel, they began to play more and more in local clubs and with an occasional trip down south to College Station and the 3rd Floor Cantina, they developed a small but dedicated following. In late 2000 Bleu got a call from legendary producer Lloyd Maines, to whom Bleu had sent a demo tape to in hopes of convincing him to produce their first album. Their first album, entitled "Southland", hit stores in April 2001. "The Band Plays On", was released in October 2002 bringing in a whole new group of fans and raising the level of everything the Bleu Edmondson Band did. In late 2004 and early 2005 the band captured four nights in the life and the result can now be heard on "One Voice". The 2007 release, Lost Boy, promises to build a whole new group of fans for the Bleu Edmondson Band and keep the fires burning until the next studio record.
