Chasing Blue

Chasing Blue: Fresh Bluegrass

Chasing Blue is a hard-driving bluegrass band made up of young and talented musicians. Band members have experience in blues, funk, rock, jazz, Texas swing and traditional Canadian fiddle tunes, and they bring these flavors to the Chasing Blue sound. Original material includes strong instrumentals, and memorable songs with honest lyrical ideas. Their bluegrass influences include the Nashville Bluegrass Band, The Lonesome River Band, Tim O’Brien, and The Infamous Stringdusters

Members of Chasing Blue met in a Berklee College of Music bluegrass ensemble in the fall of 2008. After a successful end-of-semester-performance, appearing as "Slim Wallet and the No Dough Boys," the band decided to change names and continue picking together. Now graduated, Chasing Blue plays a mix of original and traditional material with unique arrangements and foot-stomping style
