About Red Wanting Blue
Red Wanting Blue is a rock and roll band led by Scott Terry that formed in Athens, Ohio in 1996. In 1999, the band relocated its headquarters to Columbus, Ohio, the city Red Wanting Blue now calls home. RWB has been touring for nearly two decades playing around 200 live shows a year. Red Wanting Blue is known as an explosive live act to follow, with Terry being compared to some of the most entertaining frontmen in the industry.
On April 20, 2010, RWB announced that after fourteen years of operating as an independent band, they would be signing a three-album contract with Fanatic Records out of New York City. The band, known for their independence and unwillingness to bend to fleeting musical trends, stated that they had never considered signing a record contract before, but embraced Fanatic Records' "mom and pop" mentality.
The band has released twelve full-length albums to date: Velveteen , Image Trigger , Model Citizen , Sirens , Souvenirs of City Life , Pride: The Cold Lover , The Warehouse Sessions , These Magnificent Miles , From The Vanishing Point , Little America , RWB20 Live at Lincoln Theater , and The Wanting .
From the Vanishing Point debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. This album cycle led to national appearances on Late Show with David Letterman, CBS, VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live and Mountain Stage, NPR where host Larry Groce said in his introduction, "Red Wanting Blue is America's local band. They earned their fans the right way — bar by bar and concert by concert."
Little America, RWB's 10th album was released on July 1, 2014, and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and No. 31 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.
Scott Terry formed the band while in school at Ohio University. Originally from New Jersey, he formed Red Wanting Blue in the fall of 1995. In 1996 Red Wanting Blue released their first full-length album titled Velveteen. While still in college in 1998, the band went on to release their second full-length album The Image Trigger.
Model Citizen was RWB's third studio release and arguably their breakthrough album. It was the first album with current bassist, Mark McCullough. After the release of Model Citizen, Red Wanting Blue started gaining media attention for their rapidly growing grassroots following. The original version of the song Audition was recorded for this album. The song was picked up nationally by Abercrombie and Fitch and placed on rotation at their stores throughout the US. Audition was later re-vamped and re-recorded for the 2011 album From the Vanishing Point and found success on the radio and television in 2012 and 2013.
