Red Wanting Blue Releases 'Light It Up' - The Band's 13th Studio Album

(COLUMBUS, OH) -- Columbus, Ohio's indie rock stalwarts Red Wanting Blue released their thirteenth studio album, Light It Up, via Blue Élan Records on June 7, 2024. This marks their second album for the boutique Westwood, CA based indie label and the first the band has self-produced. Years of non-stop touring have not only buoyed their ever-growing fan-base across the country but has also helped solidify the relationships within the band; making this new album their most cohesive yet, capturing the camaraderie of a band that's built its entire career on the road, discovering (and rediscovering) itself one exultant, joyous, communal night at a time and a testament to their enduring musical evolution.

Frontman, drummer, and co-founder Fred LeBlanc has asserted "If The Neville Brothers and The Clash had a baby, it would be Cowboy Mouth!" His description not only reflects the group's amazing diverse sound, but it also conveys the fire and commitment they bring to their music.
