The music industry is a destructive animal where even the fittest isn’t guaranteed unscathed survival. That means indie rock band Red Wanting Blue is rare indeed. A quarter-century of steady artistic growth is virtually unheard of in the volatile world of rock music, whether it’s an underground band struggling to find the key to success or a multi-million-selling supergroup buckling from the excesses of fame.
Red Wanting Blue, formed in 1996 in Athens, Ohio, is comprised of Scott Terry on leadvocals, tenor guitar, and ukulele; Mark McCullough on bass, chapman stick, and vocals;Greg Rahm on guitar, keyboards, and vocals; Eric Hall on guitar, lap steel, and vocals;and Dean Anshutz on drums and percussion. Together the five musicians have forged acreativepath that grows and expands with each successive recording.
By gradually morphing from self-sufficient, independent outfit to skirting themainstream without losing underground cred, Red Wanting Blue earned the right toenjoy the benefits of longevity. The band’s music followed suit. Take melodicheartland rock ‘n’ roll sprinkled with dashes of down-home Americana and dip it in themodern, metropolitan rock world. Then add muscle, from a robust rhythm section to the full-throttle vocals of frontman Scott Terry. The results are truly a music industrystory worth telling.
