BIO

Blues wrote his first “official” song at the age of 5, and he hasn’t stopped since. Drawing from the rich history of rock, blues and R&B, Blues’ songs sound at once familiar, classic, and fresh.

After years of playing professionally in Michigan and Ohio, Blues is bringing his sound to Southern California. Performing both solo and with his band, Blues’ Crew, Blues brings a mixture of original music and covers done with his own twist.

On his new release “Restoration”, Blues and producer Dan Strain have crafted a sound that compliments and supports Blues’ rich, soulful voice. The songs are written from a very personal place. However, many of the songs like “Let You Down”, “Learnin’ How to Live”, “You Have Touched Me” and “Kindness” touch on universal themes that resonate with the listener's own experiences.

"When you adopt “Blues” as your first name, you had better be good. Luckily that happens to be the case with Blues Lyne, a guitarist and vocalist from the North County. My first exposure to his music was at a live show where he and his band demonstrated great musicianship as well as deep soul. Few would argue with my assertion that they were the best band of the night."

"The songwriting on this record is astonishing.  Lyne has a real talent for crafting songs with memorable melodies and hooks.  They feel almost familiar, but at the same time they are all new and original." 

- Mike Alvarez - San Diego Troubadour

"In addition to being a strong and confident vocalist, Lyne is a very accomplished guitarist.  He can pull off blazing solos, but he also has the sensitivity to lay back when the song calls for it."

"Every element comes together perfectly on this immaculately produced album.  Musically, it's dynamic and exciting to listen to.  Technically, it's a textbook example of the professional results all independent musicians should aspire to.  Artistically, it's a cohesive and uplifting statement from someone with something meaningful to say."
