context_page_description: Red Wanting Blue is a rock and roll band led by Scott Terry that formed in Athens, Ohio in 1996. In 1999 the band relocated its headquarters to Columbus, Ohio, the city Red Wanting Blue now calls home. RWB has been touring for nearly two decades playing around 200 live shows a year. Red Wanting Blue is known as an explosive live act to follow, with Terry being compared to some of the most entertaining frontmen in the industry.
  On April 20, 2010 RWB announced that after fourteen years of operating as an independent band, they would be signing a three-album contract with Fanatic Records out of New York City. The band, known for their independence and unwillingness to bend to fleeting musical trends, stated that they had never considered signing a record contract before, but embraced Fanatic Records' "mom and pop" mentality.
  The band has released twelve full-length albums to date: Velveteen, Image Trigger, Model Citizen, Sirens, Souvenirs of City Life, Pride: The Cold Lover, The Warehouse Sessions, These Magnificent Miles, From The Vanishing Point, Little America, RWB20 Live at Lincoln Theater, and The Wanting.
context_section_description: In early 2011, the band headed into the studio to begin recording their second official label release (RWB's 9th album). Once again, the band enlisted the talents of Jamie Candiloro to produce the album. The title of the album was released on August 5, 2011, through social media outlets. From the Vanishing Point was originally slated for release in the fall of 2011, but the album release was pushed back to January 2012. In the weeks before its release From the Vanishing Point was streamed over 80,000 times in the month of October alone. Over 150,000 streams of the album were recorded by the turn of 2012. "From the Vanishing Point" landed at #10 on The Billboard Heatseekers Chart in its first official week of release. The singles "Audition," "Stay on the Bright Side" and "White Snow" were released on Adult Album Alternative radio also known as AAAradio or Triple-A. The music video for "Audition" was shot live, in one-take on October 13 at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, OH. The intention was to introduce the authentic live energy of the band without including the "Hollywood magic" that is involved in most "live-style" music videos. In November 2011, Red Wanting Blue along with producer Jamie Candiloro headed back into the studio to record "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" as a holiday treat for their fans. The song found its way to the radio and was picked up as a holiday single. Music Choice Television also picked up the song as a holiday single.
  RWB's album release tour kicked off in January 2012 and consisted of several months of sold-out shows from Chicago to New York City and more. This time proved to be the band's most successful period of touring to date with concerts selling out weeks in advance. In the morning, before most tour stops, the band could be heard making special appearances on the local radio stations (most included an interview and two to three songs). Red Wanting Blue also performed on The Rock Boat in March as well as several shows with friends and fellow musicians Carbon Leaf. On June 29, 2012 RWB's live concert attendance record was broken in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Over 9,000 people attended the outdoor concert dubbed "Red Wanting Blue - Rocking on the River" in support of the band. On April 13, "Unraveled", the film that features RWB's "Magic Man", was released theatrically (later debuting on Showtime on August 8.) On July 10, the band made available a free download of their concert from NYC venue City Winery.
  On July 18, Red Wanting Blue made their network television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman performing the song "Audition" to an audience that roared and cheered along. On Sept 17th RWB performed their debut session on Daytrotter.com. On October 1, 2012, the band announced they would be performing and appearing live on VH1's morning show "Big Morning Buzz Live" on October 16 at 10am alongside Bruno Mars and Jason Aldean. On November 5 Red Wanting Blue performed live on the NPR radio program Mountain Stage alongside Dr. Dog and The Mountain Goats at the Keith Albee Theater in West Virginia.
  In early 2013, RWB headlined a tour of the west coast and continued to sell out shows throughout the Midwest and east coast. They also toured eastern Canada with The Trews and hit a major milestone by selling out The Bowery Ballroom in New York City. At The Bowery Ballroom on March 9, Red Wanting Blue announced that they would be heading back into the studio with producer/friend Jamie Candiloro throughout March and April 2013 to record their 10th album.
  Throughout March, April and May 2013, Red Wanting Blue returned to their recording studio ("El Rancho Relaxo" in Columbus, Ohio) with Jamie Candiloro to produce their tenth album. This had been the longest amount of time ever scheduled off the road (for the purpose of recording) in the band's career. In September, RWB announced their fall tour dates with longtime friend Will Hoge. Red Wanting Blue chose Swear and Shake to open several dates on this fall tour entitled "The Dime Store Circus Tour".
