The Blue Threads began in 2004 when Dalton Dunn and Brandon Custer met & jammed for the first time at Shakespeare's Pub during the Blues Jam hosted by "Spare Time" Murray. The chemistry between the two lads was unbelievable. Dalton, long known regionally as an up-and-coming Blues guitarist, (who first played on stage at the age of 10 with Matt Leddy & the Meatcutters) and Brandon, a veteran of Austin's School of Rock/Jazz, were obviously destined to form a band together.
In the fall of 2006, "The Blue Threads" competed in The International Blues Competition/Houston Round. The BT's finished in third place among musicians many years their senior; fueling their desire to record.
By mid-January 2007, armed with 12 original songs penned by band leader Dalton, The BT's decided it was time to head to the studio. They began practicing, perfecting, & tweaking in preparation of recording. After meeting the amazing Rock ("Dr. Rockit") Romano & touring his Red Shack Recording Studio in the Heights of Houston, Texas, The BT's booked the studio. Focused and extremely driven, they utilized their entire "Spring Break" to record their first CD in March 2007.
The Blue Threads Self-Titled CD consisting of 6 originals and 6 cover tunes is hailed a "must buy" by local journalists; and, in spite of their youth reveals talent way beyond their years.
17-year-old Dalton Dunn leads The Blue Threads on Guitar & Vocals, Chris Spencer on Bass/Back-Up Vocals, and Brandon Custer on Drums/Back-Up Vocals.
The Blue Threads' sound is inspired by the classic rock riffs of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and The Stooges, updated with the harder sounds of Wolfmother and Soundgarden.
