Artist description Proof that guys over thirty can still rock without resorting to covers of Jimmy Buffet songs! Blueroom plays guitar-oriented pop/rock with an unexplainable bent towards pirate shantys with odd time signatures. The waring influences of the various band members (Rick likes the N.Y. D.I.Y. bands of the late 70's, Dan's a die-hard new waver, Dave likes anything with long guitar solos and John's into Alice Cooper and Joni Mitchell) has produced an eccletic sound that's hard to pin down or box in (or market for that matter!) We go boldly where the music takes us. For better or worse!

Music Style Rock

Musical Influences Dictators, Television, Alice Cooper, Coltrane, Hendrix, Plimsouls and Partridge Family

Artist History Blueroom consists of brothers Dave, Dan and John Murdy and long-time friend and sometime lawyer Rick Deeb. Blueroom was founded in 1992 in Los Angles but the core members have been playing together since Jr. High (waaay back in the summer of 1976). Blueroom has head-lined such notable LA venues as The House of Blues, The Roxy Theater and The Whisky-A-Go-Go. Their career goal is to stay together longer than other groups with siblings (i.e. Kinks, Oasis, Osmonds, etc.)

Group Members Dave Murdy (guitars), John Murdy (vocals), Dan Murdy (drums), Rick Deeb (bass)

Instruments Electric and acoustic guitars, stand up and electric bass, natural drums and V-drums, the occasional accordian, sometimes mandolin, the almost-never bag pipes.
