"Dressed in blue and playing high-energy folk rock that's perfect for a house party, The Blue Party is possibly the 'funnest' band on Earth." - Arts Council of New Orleans

"The Blue Party blends sounds as if they were making a jambalaya out of good times. With equal parts rock, folk and dance, they stir up a musical dish that really suits their home of New Orleans." - wellthatscool.com (Tuscaloosa, AL)

"Underneath the hyperactive, road tested party antics of this six-piece lies a level of sheer musical virtuosity not found in many groups stomping around town" - Barryfest.com (New Orleans, LA)

"The Blue Party ushered in the evening with a set of springy, sunny early 20s anthems. Uniting soul- searching travelogues (“Honduras”) and hip party chorales (“Homeless”), they showed why they are quickly becoming favorites with the campus crowd – plus, it’s kind of hard not to get behind a band with a bouzouki." - Groovescapes.com (New Orleans, LA)

"The Blue Party got the crowd in such a happy, dancing mood that a visit from Starkville Police with an order to turn the volume down did not even phase the energy level in the backyard...this party was one for Starkville's history books" - The Mississippi State Reflector (Starkville, MS)

"They effortlessly mix musical styles to create a sound that is all their own." - The Vignette (Kansas City, MO)

"The Blue Party first played in Hays in September 2010. When The Blue Party returned to Hays in April, the band drew on Wednesday night and had the crowd singing their lyrics." - The Hays Daily News (Hays, KS)

"As soon as the first chord was struck, a dance party broke out. With the members dancing with audience members and everyone having an awesome time to their up-tempo tunes, you couldn’t help but watch this band play and crack a smile." - Music Makers (Starkville, MS)

"With their fun, yet heartfelt lyrics and sound, the Blue Party will make sure everyone who listens to them will have a great time." - Scout66

Man these guys kick ass. I just got back from a weekend run with them selling their merch and drinking their beer and as I’ve said before, it doesn’t matter how many times I listen to their tracks or see their shows, they always manage to surprise and delight me. They’re so tight and their consistent ability to mend new songs together seamlessly often leaves me aghast. With the addition of Ed “‘Stainless’ Steel” Williams earlier last year I was weary of how their sound would be affected. A few shows were played and it all kind of sounded messy as the boys were all having to get used to using less space musically, but through the processes of recording, touring, and songwriting, they certainly have gotten it together and their dazzling unified sound never ceases to rouse an otherwise dormant room of people to their feet. Dave keeps writing songs and Dave’s songs keep being awesome. I’ve heard some of the stuff from the new album they’re currently recording and I can’t wait to be able to give them my money so I can own it. If you don’t know, then now you know.
