Nu-Blu plays bluegrass music at the Fort
ASTORIA — A happen-
stance meeting in Anaheim,
California, and a last-min-
ute cancellation gives mu-
sic lovers the opportunity
to witness some world-class
bluegrass music at 8 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 15 at the Fort
George Brewery.
Nu-Blu, a Siler City,
North Carolina-based band
on a national tour, happened
to have a day off and an in-
terest to check out the Ore-
gon Coast for the first time.
Recently hitting the charts
with a collaboration with
Sam Moore (of Sam and
Dave fame), Nu-Blu will
bring its finely crafted blend
of banjo, mandolin, bass and
guitar along with pitch-per-
fect harmonies. Head to the
Fort at 1483 Duane St. and
give the band a listen.
To step out and decide to
make a living in music takes
a tremendous leap of person-
al and professional courage.
But for Daniel and Carolyn
Routh, the husband-and-wife
team that founded Nu-Blu in
September 2003, it became
a necessity. Today, even as
they continue to grow, they
have reason to celebrate: Nu-
Blu released its latest album,

Nu-Blu will perform bluegrass music at Fort George Brewery on Feb. 15.
“All The Way,” in September
2014. The album is fueled by
the George Jones-inspired
song “Jesus and Jones,”
which has gained national
attention.
Nu-Blu is comprised of
Carolyn Routh on bass and
vocals; Levi Austin on vo-
cals and banjo; Austin Ko-
erner on mandolin; and Dan-
iel Routh, who is the band’s
Renaissance Man — guitar-
ist, singer, manager and tour
coordinator, among many
other roles.
The group brings its en-
tertaining version of blue-
grass music to audiences
across the nation year-round.
Influences range from origi-
nal bluegrass pioneers like
Earl Scruggs, Jimmy Mar-
tin and Lester Flatt to rock
bands of the 1980s and the
contemporary sounds of Al-
ison Krauss and Union Sta-
tion.
