Stephanie - bass and vocals, Kelly - vocals and rhythm guitar, Gloria - lead guitar and vocals, Rhonda - drums. We met in bars and at birthday parties and throughout the years, we've grown to be like sisters and to put up with all the things that come along with it - PMS, mood swings, arguments and moments where we were closer than ever. We've discovered we are boring when traveling by ourselves but we find the most simple things to entertain us like throwing shoes. Any way it goes we are now family and there's no turning back now.
Influences
What we like ranges the spectrum of artists and decades. It goes from Ani Difranco to Natalie Merchant to Wilco to everything from the 80's. We write our music from the heart and personal experience to take the listener on a musical and emotional journey.

Their name came like an epiphany when the four women were sitting under a blue umbrella on a beautiful, sunny Kentucky Derby Day. One of them looked up and said, "How about The Blue Umbrellas?" The formation was complete. These women are distinctive, full of life and vigor. As smooth as Kentucky bourbon, The Blue Umbrellas is a melodic rock band with a warm harmony-driven style, yet with thrilling hyperkinetic live shows. Mixing colorful musical styles, they channel together metro folk to rural rock to playful pop. It is impossible to just hear The Blue Umbrellas . . . you have to experience them. The Blue Umbrellas have created a strong following in the Louisville, Kentucky area and are starting to tour regionally and up to the east coast. They have played with nationally known artists such as Antigone Rising, Alison Pipitone, Jen Foster, Bitch and Animal, Lindsay Mac and Katie Reider and are on their way to national recognition themselves. You can find our music at CD Baby, iTunes, ear x-tacy, Amazon, MP3 Tunes, MSN Music, MusicMatch and many, many more.
