AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH BLUE OCTOBER

(JUSTIN FURSTENFELD)

www.blueoctober.com

Justin Furstenfeld is a record producer, artist, and the lead singer, guitarist, lyricist and frontman of the American rock band Blue October.



Growing up, Furstenfeld listened to hip-hop, rock, country, dance; his favorite artists included Marvin Gaye, The Smiths, Red House Painters and Pink Floyd. His first musical memory was Roy Orbison's ballad, Crying.



During his high school years at Houston's prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA), he formed a band The Last Wish, which he played in from the age of 13 until 1995. When performing solo, Furstenfeld used the moniker 5591; the number 5591 being his patient number when he was admitted to a mental institution following a break-up with his then-girlfriend, Amanda. He tells this story in the confessionals on the Argue With a Tree DVD (found in the Special Features). Furstenfeld also co-wrote and performed guest vocals on the Canvas song All About You from their album Four Days Awake.



In August 2008, Furstenfeld toured with Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, in a sold out 4-city book/concert tour.



Furstenfeld is also an artist, and his paintings have appeared on the covers of two Blue October albums, The Answers and History for Sale. His artwork is also featured on Blue October poster's and T-shirts.

“A charming and individual debut of rare depth. There is a womb-like intimacy to their sound, centred around Crossley’s engaging and darkly humorous lyrics and the delightful cello sparring.” **** CLASH Magazine
