Blue Lotus is a psychedelic jam band from Eugene, OR that was formed in 2011 by Brandelyn Rose and Felix Blades after a chance encounter at the Oregon Country Fair. The musical synergy between Rose and Blades compelled them to seek a bigger sound and they joined forces with Ben Bosse (bass) and Peter Bauer (drums) of The Walnut Collective. Peter Allen joined shortly thereafter to add multidimensional percussive polyrhythms, further enhancing the spectrum of sound.
Blue Lotus is inspired by The Grateful Dead, Phish, Furthur, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and all things funk. The band's original tunes are directly inspired by the cosmos and visions from the beyond. All lyrics and music are composed by Rose through a process of meditation and divine inspiration. Rose then collaborates with 16 year old guitar virtuoso Blades to create danceable, dynamic melodies.
