Deja Blue was formed in August of 1998. The 6 Members of the group have many years of experience in the music business. Our
music is a collection of classic blues tunes in the Chicago style as well as New Orleans and Louisiana blues. We also play jump Blues and swing tunes and a big selection of Motown tunes. We also play a selection of surf and rock and roll tunes, and use a three piece horn section for larger shows.
The band also does a smaller acoustic show. Using only four members, doing acoustic blues and classic rock tunes, from Sleepwalk to Sweet Home Chicago.The band has recently added a new dimension to their sound by playing contemporary Jazz favorites. Tunes by Etta James, Natalie Cole, & Bobby Darin, just to name a few.
We have developed a loyal following and have played venues in
Albany, Glens Falls, Lake George, Vermont, North Creek,Raquette Lake, and all points in between.We play clubs, festivals, private parties, weddings,and benefits that we feel passionate about.
Our latest CD " Harder all the Time" has sold very well and the band has made quite a name for itself. Appearing on radio,
television, and in print. We have played on the same bill as
many National acts, and opened for many others.
Our live show is full of energy and style. It is something to "see"
as well as "hear". Very few bands play with the energy that this band has.Come out and catch a show and you will know what I mean .
