The Blue Threads began in 2004 when Dalton Dunn and Brandon
Custer met & jammed for the first time at Shakespeare's Pub during
the Blues Jam hosted by "Spare Time" Murray. The chemistry between the
two lads was unbelievable. Dalton, long known regionally as an
up-and-coming Blues guitarist, (who first played on stage at the age of
10 with Matt Leddy & the Meatcutters) and Brandon, a veteran of
Austin's School of Rock/Jazz, were obviously destined to form a band
together.
In the fall of 2006, "The Blue Threads" competed in The International
Blues Competition/Houston Round. The BT's finished in third place among
musicians many years their senior; fueling their desire to record.
By mid-January 2007, armed with 12 original songs penned by band leader
Dalton, The BT's decided it was time to head to the studio. They began
practicing, perfecting, & tweaking in preparation of recording.
After meeting the amazing Rock ("Dr. Rockit") Romano & touring his
Red Shack Recording Studio in the Heights of Houston, Texas, The BT's
booked the studio. Focused and extremely driven, they utilized their
entire "Spring Break" to record their first CD in March 2007.
The Blue Threads Self-Titled CD consisting of 6 originals and 6 cover
tunes is hailed a "must buy" by local journalists; and, in spite of
their youth reveals talent way beyond their years.
Dalton Dunn leads The Blue Threads on Guitar & Vocals, Chris Spencer on Bass, and Brandon Custer on Drums.
The Blue Threads' sound is inspired by the classic rock riffs of Led
Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and The Stooges, updated with the harder
sounds of Wolfmother and Soundgarden.
