Details:
Toronto-based BLUE ROOM evolved out of a recording project which began in 1996 and resulted in a debut CD release, "INTO THE NIGHT", in 1998.

The core musicians of BLUE ROOM are veteran live and studio players featuring: Brian Neller's big, bluesy, passionate vocals; Fraser Lawrason's solid bass lines and backing vocals; Paul Sanderson's soaring blues rock guitar; Norm Ryan's fluid and inspired saxophone; Frank Watt and Pat Quinn's seasoned drum grooves.

Since 1997, the band has played many well received live dates in the Toronto club scene and has had the privilege of sharing the bill with acoustic blues virtuoso and musical legend, John Hammond, at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern in August, 1998 as part of the JVC Jazz Festival. BLUE ROOM was a finalist in the 1997 Toronto Blues Society Talent Search, runner-up in 1998 and second runner-up again this year!

"INTO THE NIGHT" garnered air play on over 40 radio stations in Canada, including CBC, Q107, CJRT, hit top 20 CHR radio on Radio Kaleidoscope in Grenoble, France and received a 5 star rating (the highest) on Radio Halo in Holland.

BLUE ROOM'S recordings are available at retail through Indie Pool and all better record stores, including Sam The Record Man and HMV in Canada and over the Internet at www.indiepool.com/blueroom and CD Baby at www.cdbaby.com/blueroom.
