    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.
