Blue Light Bandits are a 4-piece independent rock band from Worcester, MA heavily influenced by 70's soul and R&B. Since releasing their first project, B.L.B Demo in 2014 they have amassed over 5 million streams on Spotify, spanning 2 full length albums and a selection of EP’s and singles. 

Dan DeCristofaro (keys and vocals) and Ethan Bates (bass and vocals) are the founding members, singers, and songwriters behind BLB. Dan is a soulful writer, producer, and arranger with a growing catalogue of solo work and calibrations. Ethan is an accomplished cellist and performs solo and as a live looper. The current iteration of the BLB lineup features veteran touring and session drummer, Simon Adamsson, who has been writing. recording, and performing with the band since 2019. The newest member of the band, saxophonist Ian Katz, joined in 2025 and has helped the band elevate and grow their sound into new territory as they write, record, and experiment with new arrangements. 

The band released their second full length album, Honestly Glad It Happened, on June 25, 2021 which introduced the next evolution of their songs, sound, and direction with the new lineup. The album was a huge labor of love for the band, as it was entirely recorded and produced within the BLB team. Following the LP, the band released an EP in 2023 called Sadness, Madness, Pride, & Greed which explores the darker, moodier, and math-ier sides of their rock sound.

In summer of 2024, BLB released a funky, summery pop song called “Block Party” as their second single of 2024, coupled with a live studio video at FarmView Studio in Sturbridge, MA.
