Bluetail

Bluetail are influenced primarily by classic rock, modern rock, and classic metal. The result has been the emergence of an eclectic repertoire that is diverse, compelling, and stands apart from contemporary rock bands, yet maintains an accessibility to a wide audience. From retro rock riffs and acoustic interludes, to pounding rhythms, thrashing metal passages, and even improvisational groovy jams, there is something for everyone in Bluetail’s music.
