Artist description
Comprised of singer/songwriter Justin Furstenfeld,
violinist Ryan Delahoussaye, guitarist C.B.
Hudson,and drummer Jeremy Furstenfeld. Produced by Blue Miller (India.Arie,
Aaron Neville, Tanya Tucker),Justin
Furstenfeld,and David Castell (The Buck Pets,
Cottonmouth Texas). The new album tackles many
challenging themes, from depression to child
abuse to the multiple risks of love. Musically,
the band takes chances, with Hudson’s “rock god”
guitar style dovetailing with Delahoussaye’s
artful string arrangements. At the heart of Blue
October, however, is Justin’s evocative vocals
and searing, unforgettable songwriting.

Artist History
That kind of truth-telling defined Blue October
from the start. The genesis of the band goes
back to the Houston high school days of Justin
and his friend Ryan Delahoussaye, who would team
up on arrangements of their original songs.
Though initially captivated by theater and poetry,
Justin redirected his creative energies into
music. With brother Jeremy added as drummer,
Blue October was quickly up and running. The
band released a debut indie CD, THE ANSWERS, in
the early 90s, while also touring. In time, they
shared the bill with acts like Incubus, Papa
Roach and others often upstaging their better
known colleagues. |
