As songs developed, though, it became clear their combination of talents was worth sharing and a band was born.

Led by singer/songwriter Wynne C Blue, The Troublefakers have been practicing their brand of powerpop in the Seattle metropolitan area of the Pacific Northwest. Wynne's songwriting influences include Better than Ezra and Indigo Girls, and her vocal style has been compared to both Chrissie Hynde and Gwen Stefani.

Wynne C Blue and her Troublefakers released their first EP, Short Story, in 2009, followed by their first full-length studio album, Good to Drive, in 2011. In 2013 they will release "I Know," another full-length studio album. "I Know" is an elegant mix of rebellion, reflection, and imagination, sure to get you either thinking or dancing -- or both!

As a live performer, Blue injects her shows with soul, humor, and an energy that often brings in people passing by the venues she plays. With bandmates Barry Markey on bass, Ron Allen on guitar, and Donnie Ivan on drums, Wynne C Blue's sound includes a healthy mix of blues, rock, coffeehouse, dance, and hook-heavy pop sure to grab your attention.
