Kidd Blue is truly an Auburn original.  Formed in 1985 as an off shoot of Robert Orr's jazz ensemble called "OffRamp," Kidd Blue and the Blues Kings began wowing audiences as the house band at Denaro's on Toomer's Corner. Word spread about "the Kidd" (literally), Tim Chambliss - fresh out of high school with a soulful growl that brought back the sounds of Sam & Dave, James Brown and Wilson Pickett.

With the release of their 1988 recording, "Don't Mess With My Shades," the band was chosen as a Southeast finalist in the MTV Rock n' Roll Challenge (curiously, this event was MC'd by Jacko, the Eveready battery guy from Down Under - talk about an 80's trivia question!).

Twenty-two years later, Kidd Blue continues to fill dance floors from Tampa to Chattanooga.  Their eclectic mix of horn-driven Motown, Soul, R&B, Rock n' Roll and 80's favorites is enjoyed by audiences from 2 to 92.

Band members include Robert Orr on guitar, George Whelchel on bass, John Halley on Drums, Kenyon Carter on saxophone, Andy David on trumpet and keyboards and Tim "Kidd Blue" Chambliss on vocals.

Kidd Blue is the perfect band for your wedding reception, corporate event or holiday party.  Contact Tim Chambliss for rates and availability.
