Tips Up: Colourblind

Sam, a guitarist going to school in Bozeman, Montana, crossed paths with Woody, a musician with a knack for songwriting and a love for the same records. What started as playing covers together turned into bouncing ideas back and forth to write music of their own. Before long, they had enough songs for a set and decided to throw a garage show for some friends in town. That night laid the foundation for something bigger. Among the crammed garage audience was Cade, who was drawn to what the two kids were up to. After talking post-show, he joined as the drummer, solidifying their core lineup, and further developing the identity of Colourblind.

The band spent the next few months playing local gigs and refining their sound. The following summer, they met Louie, whose bass playing brought the final missing piece. With the full lineup in place, Colourblind began to carve out their identity in the Montana music scene, playing venues like the Tune Up, Filling Station, and Armory Music Hall, leading up to the release of their debut EP on February 28th.
