The Blue Eyed Goodbyes’ songs are a tour of heartfelt heartbreak. Front woman, Kathryn Humphrey, weaves captivating narratives, with a soulful and truly unique voice, that illustrate the odd beauty in recognizing one’s losses. These narratives are steeped in well-crafted metaphors that describe lovers and traditions long since lost, yet she recounts them with a straightforward honesty that is rarely witnessed. The Blue Eyed Goodbyes’ songs can best be described as southern gothic. The sound is derived from a variety of stylistic influences that are paired with the endemic darkness inherent to southern life. Kathryn began this band in the spring of 2009 and assembled a number of seasoned musicians who kindly graced her with their musical presence. The current lineup consists of drummer/backing vocalist Eric Young, bassist Steve McPeeks, lead guitarist Joseph Lazzari, and lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Kathryn Humphrey.

Lindsay Appel is me, Lindsay Appel (vocals-keys-guitar), and four splendid fellows, Mario Colangelo (Tiger!Tiger!) on drums, Steve McPeeks (Fiend Without a Face) on upright bass, Shane Pringle (Tag Team, Grinder Nova) on saxophone, and Matt Chenoweth (The Goldest, Tag Team) on lead guitar.
After spending a few years gallivanting around the north & south east following artistic whims, I've taken up residence in Atlanta, GA. I played solo around town until March 2008, when the band got a'rolling.
As far as sound goes, my blend seems to be rather hard for folks to pin down. In my mind, it's a sultry mix of rock/blues/pop, with a healthy dose of shimmer and *spark*, throw in a dash of cinematic flair + a whole lot of sassafras, and on some sort of primitive level of definition, that equals the music that I write. When the charming likes of Mario-Steve-Shane-Matt are added in, the songs motivate foot tappers and hip shakers, I get to stomp around on bigger stages, and the whole shebang gravitates closer to the perpetual music video parade march I've got playing in my head. All in all, a splendid good time!
