THE INDIGO RISING

With the tragic passing in 2018 of Andy Race - enigmatic frontman, guitarist and songwriter for the THE INDIGO RISING came the end of the band, or was it just the start?

For Andy, music was the most important thing in his life and it remained so right until the end with the band committed to finishing all the music they could in the time they had left.

This group of life long friends have been working together since 2000 under the name ‘BLOOM’ the band enjoyed success in the uk but mainly in europe with their self funded first album ‘ALL THAT IS’ released on big fish records going on to sell over 13,000 copies, the band followed this up with tours of Italy, Holland, France, Spain and Germany with both fans and critics alike acclaiming their powerful live performances. The first single from “All that is” “shoulder too cry on” has racked up over 45,000 views on YouTube and made the play lists for radio stations both in the uk and the rest of the world.

After some time apart the band reconvened in 2017 to work on new material that would become the band’s second self funded album but this was short lived as the band received the devastating news that frontman Andy had developed cancer in his throat. The band did what friends do, closed ranks and rallied round Andy continuing to work and lay down new material as was his wish, no treatment could stop him, his desire was to finish what they had started and put down the best music The band could.

Sadly Andy passed away in 2018 leaving the rest of the band devastated but they had all made a promise to each other to finish and release the album. it’s been difficult, its taken a while, but a promise is a promise and under the name ‘THE INDIGO RISING’ the band’s second album ‘HARMONIC SUN’ was released in 2020 on Flicknife records worldwide.

Whilst The band remains largely unknown They shall remain one of the best kept secrets in the industry. If they can gain any traction with the release of “Harmonic sun” in 2020 on Flicknife records the they should get the exposure they deserve.
