About Us
Our Sound
We're a modern rock band with a new wave sound. Our members draw from a crazy mix of influences and musical backgrounds: Anna (lead vocals) is trained in opera and has a passion for blues. Max and Kole (guitar, drums respectively) are deeply rooted in jazz and funk, and Chris (guitar) is influenced by hip-hop and the wailing riffs of Jimi Hendrix. Before Brennan played bass, he also performed as a classically trained cellist. We pull from such a wide array of sounds and the result is our own musical signature blend; when people ask what we play, we can only say “You’ll just have to listen.”
Art with Emotion
We create music meant to be heard and felt. We want our sound and lyrics to mirror our thoughts and feelings. Our music is written as a team, and our collaboration comes through: each member has an open license to express their musical individuality in each song. Each instrument shares the stage, instead of anyone being relegated to the background.
Looking to the Future
We're looking to expand our influence on the Cincinnati music scene. We're constantly seeking new venues and events to play to reach new listeners. (If you have any ideas reach out to us in our booking tab!)
Additionally, we are currently working on a live studio album which we hope to release in early 2024.
A few of our reviews
Burrito Boys Booking Agency
" They cut their teeth playing a wide variety of covers and that diversity of influences really shows as they’ve begun writing their own original songs. It's clear that The Crimson Blue’s two guitarists put effort into complimenting each other’s sound. Their lead vocalist Anna shows off an impressive vocal range and an innate ability to connect with audiences. I would say they’re definitely an up-and-coming band to watch."
