Bio

Brent Orndorff & Dustin Richardson

The Blue News released their debut album 'Blue News' in 2006 and have since released three more studio albums: The Signs (2007), Strange Light (2008),  and Wartime Songs (2011).  As an independent band they have managed to reach a large audience and generate regular income from royalties and sales while managing to keep 100% of their own publishing. In September of 2019, their songs reached over 1,000,000 streams on Spotify and YouTube.

The Blue News music began getting widespread attention as early as 2007 when two songs were licensed for national television. The songs Love’s So Strong and Next Time from the album The Signs were selected for the series "Road Trip Nation" on PBS television.

In 2011, the band worked with acclaimed producer Sylvia Massey on the album Wartime Songs. The song Two Lovers was selected by band members of Sublime to be included on a compilation CD called Fresh Cuts Vol. 7 and 50,000 CDs were distributed in Guitar Center stores nationwide.  

Things really began to take off in 2016 when the song Just A Game was used in an official trailer for the film Demolition, four of their songs were selected for the popular video game "Rebel Galaxy", and the song Running Back To You was licensed for the Netflix series "Bloodline" (S02E03).
