Blue Lotus

Featured as part of Relix Magazine's "Bands on the Rise" in 2012 and 2013; and awarded "Best New Act", "Favorite Female Performer", "Best Instrumentalist" and "Favorite Local Band" by the Wow Hall in Eugene OR in 2014. This award winning group is quickly becoming the next up and coming rock and roll jam band.
Formed in 2010 after a chance encounter at the Oregon Country Fair, singer/songwriter Brandelyn Rose and young guitar prodigy Felix Blades sparked a unique and collaborative friendship that has attracted other talented artists including Ben Bosse, special guests on keyboards and Alex Huber on drums. Blue Lotus features original songs that take you from rock and roll to spaced out intergalactic madness. Rooted in Rock and Blues, and experimenting with elements of Bluegrass, Jazz and Funk, the band fuses styles to create a high energy, fun and danceable melodic hybrid.
In 2011 the group released it's first full length album "Blue Lotus" which features 10 original hits. At the time the group had been together for only about six months. In 2012 came the release of their second album also self titled, which included five studio tracks and five live tracks. As the excitement about the band continued to grow, Blue Lotus went on to release a third album titled "A Thousand Other Things" which included 12 studio length, "radio friendly" tracks. In 2014 the band did a limited release EP featuring three more original previously unrecorded songs. The band just released it's fifth and "favorite" album "Across the Canyon" in July 2015. Recorded by Ninkasi Brewing studios in Eugene OR, the new album provides five full length studio tracks and two full length live tracks. The fans love the long extended jams, so I think we need to give that to them quotes "Brandelyn Rose" the group's founding member. The group now has upwards of 33 original songs.
