Blü Egyptian
While the music scene continues to be more compartmental and genre specific, Blü Egyptian refuses to be put in a box. The jamband moniker doesn't even scratch the surface of the infinite influences that have evolved into an undefinable sound. At any given moment, Blü Egyptian can shift from infectious rhythms to soulful melodies while filling the dancefloor with captivating vibes. Right when you think you figured out their sound, they’ll switch it up and keep you guessing.
Emerging from the heart of Northern California, Blü Egyptian continues to play for growing audiences in the West from playing festivals like High Sierra, Golden Road Gathering, Oregon Country Fair and June Lake Jam Fest to supporting national touring acts such as Melvin Seals & JGB, Dogs in a Pile, Dizgo, Pink Talking Fish, Sunsquabi and The Mother Hips. Blü Egyptian continues to blow minds with their ever evolving sound with an eclectic blend of Rock, Funk, Reggae, Bluegrass, and Electronica, creating unique segues from catchy original tunes to timeless covers.
While continuously touring and playing festivals, the band made time to record their fourth album of all original music during the summer at Heirloom Studios in Chico, CA under the guidance of Dave Elke with a release date to be announced soon.

DON JULES (Libra, guitar/vocals) is the primary songwriter in the band. Jules lights up the stage with guitar antics and tasty licks. He came up with the name of the band from an ancient medicinal flower.
ZACH GRAHAM (Taurus, drums) is like a drumologist of all types of music and studies legendary drummers like Steve Gadd, Stewart Copeland, Bernard Purdie and Neil Peart.
NEO SPECTRUM (Cancer, Fiddle/keys/synth) learned to play fiddle at young age in family bluegrass circles. He plays an electric instrument he calls the lasagna. His obsession with frequency modulation and live looping is a new addition to their sound.
CAM “STANK" FULLER (Aquarius, bass) throws down the funk like his favorite bass players like Larry Graham, Louis Johnson, Stuart Zender (Jamiroquai) and Les Claypool.
