Stuey Blue started performing every weekend with his band Sunrise at the age of fifteen.

The revue was featured in an hour long PBS documentary as well as numerous TV spots. After the tour he settled in N.Y.C. performing with numerous local bands and doing session work on CDâs and for TV and film. He formed his own band the Screamin Honkers which were quickly hailed the âbest bar band in town(N.Y.C)â by the Village Voice. They headlined at major clubs like Studio 54, The Stone Pony, The Lone Star Café, and The 930 club and colleges like StonyBrook, Univ. Of Richmond, and Queens College performing their original compositions. Their video aired nationally on ABCâs Hot Tracks, HBO, and CNN. They also appeared in the major motion picture âIshtarâ. The band averaged 150 shows a year playing extensively in N.Y.C. and the Northeast states for many years. Their self-released albums sold well. Stueyâs exciting live shows,which featured him blowing his sax while dancing through the audience, dropping to his knees on the beat,jumping on tables and bars, playing on his back rocking and kicking his feet while wailing and honking to a jump beat, brought audiences to a frenzy.
