In the years since vocalist and songwriter Scott Terry formed Red Wanting Blue, the band has gone on to establish itself as a quintessential example of American perseverance and hard work, building an exceedingly loyal fanbase based on non-stop touring, all without any industry support.   Known for making instant fans of the uninitiated with one of the most engaging and passionate live shows on the road today, Red Wanting Blue found even bigger audiences after the release of its 2012 From The Vanishing Point album, which landed in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Heatseekers chart and at #1 for the band’s home region.   Appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” VH1’s “Big Morning Buzz Live,” and NPR’s “Mountain Stage” followed, and while the band continues to reach new and bigger career milestones, Red Wanting Blue is also staying true to its roots.  This is evident on the upcoming new album Little America, the band’s most personal and promising recording to date.   Little America celebrates a community spirit Red Wanting Blue shares with its audience that goes beyond fans who simply give back the passion that comes off the stage. Red Wanting Blue’s hard work is matched by fans who work hard, too. It’s not unexpected for members of this growing legion to take days off of work and cross state lines to follow the band, to learn just-written tunes from wobbly YouTube videos, and to sing every word at every concert.  

Jared Mahone is not your typical singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar. One grin and quick witty remark from Jared make him an easy guy to like. His soulful, funky tunes filled with genuinely thoughtful lyrics make him easy to remember. His original style, soulful vocals and unbelievable beatbox showcase make him impossible to forget. As one of the most booked performers in the college market, Jared completed 500+ shows across the country including a campus tour with 90 concerts in less than 120 days. His “Mixtape Project” allowed fans to hear a new song from him every week in 2010 and now the favorite songs from the project make up his new full-length album. The record was created by an all-star team including producer Jerry DePizzo of O.A.R., Grammy award winning mix engineer Mike Landolt (Maroon 5), and Brian Lucey (The Shins, The Black Keys).
