About Me |
|
| ..NOTE
While we feel very BLESSED to be making our living from playing music,
we are NOT seeking a record deal as "artists." OUR DREAM is to have "SIGNED ARTISTS" COVER OUR SONGS. We both LOVE the art of writing!
Blue Byou is a successful and dynamic musical duo, well known throughout the Florida Keys. They have entertained thousands of tourists and locals alike for over a decade, performing a variety of music. ...
The duo is a husband and wife team, consisting of Diana Namerdy on lead vocals and rhythm guitar and David Namerdy on his Fender Telecaster, playing lead guitar and vocals. They are accompanied by sequenced music, via a laptop computer, giving a full band sound and the styles vary from Dance Music, Rock & Roll, Island Music, Lite Jazz, Blues, Oldies, Swing, Country & Western and the list goes on.
Diana and David have performed everywhere in the Keys from Key West to the exclusive Ocean Reef. They have entertained members of the Yacht and Country Clubs on a regular basis, as well as doing private parties, and the many tiki bars, night clubs and restaurants. They have several hundred songs, many of which are played upon request. In addition, they have their own original songs which are often played on several of the local radio stations up and down the Florida Keys.
UPDATE
As many of you know, we have relocated to the Gulf Coast of Florida, Rotonda to be more specific, and are performing throughout the area. Our new home is near Venice and Sarasota. We are making many new friends and really love it here. We hope that you will check our schedule and venues page from time to time and catch one of our shows.
EARLIER YEARS
Diana & David both started playing guitar at age 13. The two met in 1978 at a night club in Washington, D.C. while playing in a blues band, backing up a Detroit based singer named Catfish Hodge. www.catfishpond.com
After recording an album with him entitled "Eyewitness Blues" produced by "Freebo", bassist for Bonnie Raitt, they toured for a solid year, playing with many of the blues greats, such as John Lee Hooker, James Cotton, Professor Longhair, John Mayall, The Dixie Dregs, Edgar Winter, Lowell George and Bonnie Raitt.
After departing the Catfish Hodge Band, David & Diana formed a local band in the D.C. area and played around at various clubs until moving to New York City in late 1980.
While in New York they hooked up with an independent management company, which shall remain nameless and worked on original music, recording demos with various studio musicians, including Laura Brannigan's band.
They also did a video with a group they named "Lafayette", after living on Lafayette Street in Chinatown, lower Manhattan. The video was done in the pre MTV days and being that there was a shortage of videos on the market at the time, record companies not fully believing in them yet, David & Diana managed on their own to have their video aired between movies on HBO (video jukebox) and CINEMAX (pop spots) for about a month or so.
Boy, times have changed. They also recorded a 5 song EP at the famous Electric Lady Land Studios in Greenwich Village, entitled Lafayette. In November of '91 they left the "Big Apple" behind and headed down to the sunny Florida Keys, where Blue Byou was formed early the following year and the rest is Blue Byou history in paradise.

DIANA: Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, Bonnie Raitt, June Carter, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Ry Cooder & Joni Mitchell, and way too many others to mention. Sounds Like: We've been told anything from Les Paul & Mary Ford to Bob Dylan & Emmy Lou Harris, but we feel each individual actually has his/her own sound. We do love "Americana" but did not see it listed as a "Genre" on the "Listing Info." Anyway, we both love blues and country, blue grass and some alternative and our sound is pretty much a mix. We Love A Happy Crowd! Web Site: Operation Terra "Life is Abundant" Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it. ~Osho Record Label: Byouville Type of Label: None |
