Biography
We are proud to present "Guitar Star" , the new wild rock instrumental release featuring burning hot, Blue Turner.
Blue is a true Gemini. The good twin can play any style... but this evil twin is the Rocker speed demon, with squealin' whammy bar divebombs, for all hard rockin' blues/rockers. From Van Halen to Joe Satriani to Johnny Winter...Blue is renowned for his fascinating experiments with the guitar, fused with a wildly imaginative lyrical sensibility.
Blue Turner started guitar lessons at age eight, in Toronto, Canada. Throughout his teens, he played in various bands, gigging at parties & school dances. After finishing Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Blue immediately went on the road, travelling coast to coast, playing rock clubs like the Gasworks in Toronto, one- nighters and music festivals. Blue describes one of his interesting escapades here:
"I remember, we were headlining an outdoor music festival in Quebec. This festival was put on by, no less than nine biker gangs from all over North America. There was a refrigerated tractor trailer full of beer & lots of sunshine...need I say more? We were treated like royalty, probably because of the guitars and smoke bombs etc... and were given carte blanche at their club house. Needless to say, we played very well that weekend.
The next year, Blue auditioned and was accepted into the Humber College Music Program in Toronto, majoring in Jazz guitar. During these three years, to make ends meet, Blue continued to play live, and would teach guitar at the local music store. At one point, Blue carried a roster of dozens of students.
After college, Blue continued playing live, studio work and writing. Many of these published & covered songs & videos can be seen on Facebook,YouTube,Reverbnation & www.blueturnerguitar.com
Blue continues to perform and write.
