Biography
Bill 'Bleu' Lane has been kicking around the Music Industry since 1970. He had toured all around the world but had never recorded an album of his own only with other Artists who he had played and recorded with. When Lane went from Austin to Atlanta in 2000 to hook up with an attorney friend (Howard Osofsky) who had offered to help Lane get a demo recorded and contact industry people to get him signed to a record deal and to agents who would help promote Lane as a solo artist things began to look very good. After more than 2 years of trying to hook Lane up the attorney had made a number of waves in the music industry but still had not gotten him signed. The demo (Back In Blue/2000) he helped produce for Lane had been raising some interest in Nashville with the help of Lane's friend and Country Rock Icon, Mark Collie. In 2002 Lane went to the Lowery Music Group in Atlanta, Butch Lowery, took interest in Lane. Lowery signed Lane to a multiple year recording and publishing deal that led to the recording of Bleu Lane's rookie album, "Just Livin' My Rock & Roll Life".
'Bleu Lane' was formed originally in Austin, Texas in 2000. During September of 2000 Bleu went to Atlanta where an attorney who represented him in several worker's compensation cases (Howard Osofsky)helped him get into a studio with Steve Walsh of Kansas who helped to co-produce the demo: "Back In Bleu" with session musicians that included Bill Stewart on percussion who was part of the famed, Capricorn Rhythm Section. After finally finishing the Demo CD Lane began to work Music Row in Nashville with the help of Country Rock Icon, Mark Collie.
