Back in early 2006 a bunch of musicians started hanging out at a place that hosts a blues jam called Red House in Walnut, CA. Within a few months, many of the musicians, seeking new experiences, started talking about forming bands. George Cooper and Roy Smith put some blues songs together and asked Damon Reed to join them in a one off performance. The band was called Blue Midnight. One of the people in the crowd that night was one of the regular jam buddies, Harmonica player Mike Hernandez. By late 2006, Mike asked Roy to join with him to form a Chicago style harmonica blues band. Jumping at the chance, they quickly formed and named the band “Blue Yonder”. By early 2008 Blue Yonder had evolved to include Mike Harmonica & Vocals, George Guitar and Vocals, Damon Bass, and Roy Guitar/Slide Guitar and Vocals. Drummer Bill Patterson rounds out the band on drums, with his powerful jazz style. Today, Blue Yonder prides itself on tasteful song selection, with their own unique arrangements of classic songs. Blue Yonder is known for their upbeat tempos that get people onto the dance floor. They blend classic blues, with jazz, soul, country, rock & roll, blues rock and an occasional reggae tune. Blue Yonder performs comfortabley as an electric band and/or acoustic band. Check out our website, listen to the music, watch some video and book us for your next event.
