Wynne C Blue & her Troublefakers

About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Wynne C Blue & her Troublefakersare a powerful originals pop/rock band, based out of Seattle WA. Led by Blue herself, the band features players from other local outfits like UCA, Alectrophobia, and The Universe.

Vocally, Blue has an impact that captures a room, never failing to deliver an entertaining show, engaging the audience with her subtle humor and powerful voice. She takes her songwriting inspiration from a mix of dance, folk, rock, and 80's pop.

Ron Allen's guitar sound plays off of the mood of every composition, adding lightness to the pop, fire to the rock, and mystery to the ballads. Joining the band in 2007, Ron's personal playlist includes Talking Heads, PJ Harvey, and The Pixies.

Also from Texas, Donnie Ivan's rock drumming is key to the band's energy. Donnie is a ten year veteran of the Austin music scene, bringing his double-kick bass, baseball cap, and laid-back classic rock attitude to every song.

Barry "Baz" Markey is a new bloke from across the pond who always wanted to join The Cure, but ended up over here playing rock bass with geeks. Better than cabbage.

Wynne C Blue & her Troublefakers offer an entertaining, eccentric and engaging show, performing a variety of original and popular compositions ranging from Americana to high-energy pop to indie rock.

I set up a brand new email account on the troublefakers.com domain so I could look more "professional" to venues and it backfired -- none of my messages sent from that address got through to anyone!  ...
