Breaking the boundaries of traditional rock and blues, fadedblue has been

on the Pacific Northwest music scene since 2005. fadedblue started as a classic

rock & country cover band, playing in many of the local venues of the greater

Portland area, but have continuously evolved their sound into the original

music they write and perform today. The bands' influences merge gospel, blues,

classic rock, and hard rock into an eclectic sound that is exciting and unique.

fadedblue released their first self-titled album in 2013 to a sold out venue, and are

currently working on their follow up album, to be released soon.

Led by singer Amy Cox's powerful vocals, fadedblue has played many fairs

and festivals in the Portland area, including the Portland Rose Festival, Multnomah

County Fair, the Mount Hood Festival of the Forest, and The Bite of Oregon.

Band members include Will Schreiber and Dennis Richey on guitars, Darin

Cox on bass, and Mark Newton on drums. This dynamic and energetic group is capable

of thrilling a crowd with their blistering guitar solos, while still being able to sooth

the soul with melodic interludes.
