About Me

Dimly lit bars and raucous clubs have birthed many a band. In October 2004, BLUE MATTER emerged from the smoky haze of the New England club scene. Always searching, Blue Matters four members splintered from some of the areas top rock acts to create a mix of groove-based rock with pop hooks.

Their smart songs range from inward reflection to outspoken views on the world, but never think that these boys dont know how to have fun. Smart songs and wise asses are not mutually exclusive.

Blue Matters high-voltage performances bring an unmatched level of energy to their live shows. Blue Matter serves up a mix of originals and choice covers guaranteed to have the dance floor packed.

You can almost see the exchange between the band and their audience as Blue Matter offers up song after song. Pulling from a catalog of nearly 100 songs from the 60’s to today, you never know what you’ll hear.
