Blue October - Sway
Blue October is an American alternative rock band from Houston, Texas with frontrunner Justin Furstenfeld. The band’s songs occasionally have a uniquely orchestral twist, fueled by viola and violin player Ryan Delahoussaye. The members’ ability to raise 263 percent of their goal in a PledgeMusic crowd funding campaign to support their seventh studio album, Sway (2013), is a testament to their unfailingly loyal fan base. They’re passionate about putting out music with purpose, focusing on lyrical substance for each song. In February of this year, Blue October announced that eighth studio album was in the works, via Twitter. Fans should stay tuned for a potential March 2016 release, but we’re hoping to hear some of the new music at LouFest, too.
Blue October performs Saturday, September 12 at 3 p.m. For more information, go to loufest.com.
