Bio

Hello, my name is Wynne. Pleased to meet you. I've been making music in the greater Seattle area officially since 2005, performing rock and powerpop with my band The Troublefakers. Primarily I'm a voice: I have a message and an instrument to convey it in a powerful way. Alternately I am an entertainer that loves to tell stories. It's all about perspective.

I wasn't supposed to be a musician, I was supposed to be an illustrator or a sculptor - I earned my Fine Arts degree just before the turn of this century - but the universe led me toward many open mics and jam sessions until I met my very first Troublefaker and a band was born. We started out as a Rockabilly/Americana outfit until our first lead guitar change and then moved into more Funk, followed by a lot of Rock.

Many years, three albums, and a few lineup changes later I have gone from being frontman for The Troublefakers, to being Wynne C Blue and her Troublefakers, to just being Wynne C Blue (The Troublefakers were officially retired in 2019). As a band and a soloist I played many stages in and around the Seattle area, entertaining crowds of all ages with our bass-driven powerpop. The songs themselves take inspiration from my own personal struggles with self-image, and my love of geek culture. Wonder Woman? I have a song for that. Mario? Of course I have a song for that - it's probably the most political song I've ever written, seeing as it's sung from the perspective of the ever-elusive Princess.

Now I'm not just performing with a band, but also on my own. Injuries, graduations, and other major life changes put me in a position to learn to perform solo and I did. Scary at first, but I embrace it now. It has opened up a new world of opportunities to share my songs with you, and I feel ready to be a real musician now. All I need to do is play more stages and reach more music lovers like you.

Do me a favor and sign up for my mailing list. It's easy and quick, and will get you a freebie unavailable on any distribution service. Along with the standard show information I share stories of my life as a Troublefaker, solo artist, and human.

See you at a show.

Love,
Wynne
