We are the Blindsided, trudging through years of wilderness, occasionally stopping at an oasis here and there for a musical drink. Our members are an eclectic group of talented musicians, from varied backgrounds and experiences, who have been working on a collaborative effort of original songs since around 2000. Sticking together, mainly because we love to play this music with one another. It all started with Jane and Nigel sitting around a campfire playing the blues back on a warm summer night. After about six months of practicing together Jane had an idea. She talked Nigel into jamming with her good friend, Tony. Nigel was very skeptical about adding a drummer at first, but after hearing the master player, he was convinced and they became a trio. Slim joined them initially when Nigel and Jane first started to jam in 2000. He left shortly after to pursue other possibilities, came back briefly after Janes illness for a few gigs and now is contributing his talents to a project with Tony. In 2008 Nigel's daughter, Kitty was folded in as a keyboard player. Shortly after for personal reasons, took over singing full time from Jane. We are still able to enjoy Jane's fantastic song writing skills, and love playing what we can.
