Nice to meet you. My name is Kyle Bledsoe. I am a
singer/songwriter out of Lafayette, Indiana. I have always had a passion for music. I grew up to the sounds of my mother playing the piano and such
artists as Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp in the CD player. Now, at 18 years old, I've set out and started my own dream to become a musician. Playing around Indiana since the middle of 2004, I've grown a lot in a short amout of time. In April of 2004, I sat in with a guitarist from St. Louis, MO named Stendek. His live performance was enough to make me want to be a loop artist. A loop artist plays music into a recording device called a looper which then plays back was recorded on it and lets the musician record additional sounds and layers on top of it. It's almost
like a full band in one electronic device. I bought a looper, and since then have experimented with many different instruments. I soon stripped down to just guitar and two pedal boards full of effects; one for my guitar, and one for my vocals, somewhat similar to Howie Day. As of now, I am in the studio working on my first CD with veteran
singer/songwriter Scott Greeson, which is titled
Holding On. The CD will be ready by April, and be
on the lookout for ways to order!Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, I play live all the time. I have 4 regular gigs a month at Indiana's oldest bar, the Knickerbocker Saloon (knickerbockersaloon.com) and i play a lot on the Purdue campus. My website, www.kylebledsoe.com, has a full schedule.
