Tupelo Blue was formed in mid-1994 and began playing South Bay venues soon after.
The band’s format was mainly based on Chicago-style blues but quickly blossomed with an infusion of jazz and a scattering of rock flavorings.
After standing-down for about two years the band reformed with the “CD line-up” and kicked things off with an acclaimed appearance at Seal Beach Concerts By The Pier in March of 2006. They have since then played Original Mike’s, Fender Avenue Bar & Grill and Belmont Station, all top venues in Orange County and L.A. areas.
Their self-released CD, ‘Tupelo Blue’ came-out in 1999 to glowing reviews with sales that netted the band a tidy profit. The CD is distributed in the U.S. and Canada, and has received airplay in North America and Europe.
In mid-2008, our good buddy and bassist Gary Stutt decided he'd had enough of California and moved to Arkansas. Gary hand-picked Scott Lambert as his replacement on bass. Scotty is well known in the blues community and is a fine player. No one better could have been found. Scott can be seen all over So. Cal. working with many fine bands besides Tupelo Blue. Some of Scotty's musical adventures will be posted here from time to time. Check him out!
