Biography
Filled with catchy guitar riffs and constructed melodies, Brown and Blue manages to fuse elements of Americana, Folk and early Rock and Roll, drawing influences from artists like The Band and Big Star with a proper injection of modern muscle.
Located in Los Angeles, Brown and Blue originally started as singer/songwriter Danny Nogueiras's solo project, but the band quickly expanded to a five-member group which now includes close friend and guitarist Ricky Cruces, Ray Cruces (bass), Bert White (acoustic guitarist), and Anthony Vezirian (drummer). Brown and Blue's lyrics tend to be introverted or self referential sung over thoughtful compositions that bleed straight to the heart. "I'm a firm believer in writing about what you know and trying to know yourself." Nogueiras states.
Brown and Blue's latest EP titled "A Warmer Climate" is a wonderful and utterly unique record. The musicianship on "A Warmer Climate is outstanding but never over the top, full of subtle nuances that add texture to the stories told, something the band says is due in large part to the advice, guidance, and coaching they received from producer David J(of Novi Split). On "All Hail", the band showcases a resentful and bitter song. Nogueiras states, "I think All Hail is about letting go of a lot negative feelings I was struggling with and trapping them in a song, something controllable but expressive." From the emotional “All Hail” to the americana-folk vibe of “Stay”, Brown and Blue's latest EP is an infectious groove that embodies multiple genres.
