"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

We had the privilege of playing at Hollerfest two days in a row this year.  Below is a video from our Saturday night performance on the mainstage.

Hollerfest is a 3-day folk festival that takes place on an organic farm in Brooklyn, Michigan. It is a truly wonderful festival.

Natalie just looks too happy to not include this pic:

Guys. Girls. It’s been a longggg 3 months of touring. We toured the South and Midwest of the United States all of July, half of August and almost all of September and we’re finally back in our mother city of New Orleans. Once again we were aided greatly by our sponsor, Boru Vodka (www.boru.com) and we’ve got footage and stories from these crazy months that we’ll be sharing soon. In the meantime, NOLA people and anyone who’s willing to travel, we’re playing this Friday at the Howlin Wolf with our good friends Mississippi Rail Co., kickass-extraordinaires The Coyotes, funky goodtime Earphunk, and the up-and-coming alt rock stylings of the Wooden Wings. We play two sets in the Den and it’s sure to be as rockin and rollin as any house party you’ve seen us at. Starts at 9, ends at awesome. Here’s all the info

You stay classy, planet Earth.

We had the honor of sharing a bill with The National Rifle in Macomb, IL on this last tour.  Like us, they frequent the small, but music-loving town of Macomb quite often.  With our powers combined, it made for a magical night of music and energy.  Check them out at thenationalrifle.com.  If you ever find yourself with the opportunity to see them live, I promise that you’ll dance so much that you’ll get all the exercise your need for a week.
