Red Wanting Blue (also known as RWB) is a rock and roll band led by Scott Terry that formed in Athens, Ohio in 1996.

[2] 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.

[4] The band has released twelve full-length albums to date: Velveteen (1996), Image Trigger (1998), Model Citizen (2000), Sirens (2001), Souvenirs of City Life (2002), Pride: The Cold Lover (2004), The Warehouse Sessions (2006), These Magnificent Miles (2008 & re-release, 2010), From The Vanishing Point (2011), Little America (2014), RWB20 Live at Lincoln Theater (2016), and The Wanting (2018).

[5] This album cycle led to national appearances on Late Show with David Letterman, CBS,[6] VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live and Mountain Stage, NPR where host Larry Groce said in his introduction, "Red Wanting Blue is America's local band.

After the release of Model Citizen, Red Wanting Blue started gaining media attention for their rapidly growing grassroots following.

1 on Awarestore (Aware Records online store) and several songs were placed on the CBS/VH1 program, Love Monkey as well as the CW hit show Life is Wild.

[9] Around this time period it was brought to the band's attention that hundreds of fans across the US tattooed Red Wanting Blue's symbol (an angel/devil sign – penned by Scott Terry in 1995) on their bodies.

RWB independently set out on a large tour (headlining venues from mid-level clubs to small theaters) stretching from New York to California.

The band enlisted Grammy nominated producer Jamie Candiloro (Ryan Adams, R.E.M., Willie Nelson) for These Magnificent Miles.

An eccentric music video was released for "Where You Wanna Go" featuring the band finding themselves trapped in an Alice in Wonderland type setting.

On April 13, 2011, lead singer Scott Terry was the guest star on NPR Radio's Snap Judgement and told a story about the band traveling through Yellowstone National Park and running into "trouble".

[5] 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 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.

[10] 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.

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 July 18, Red Wanting Blue made their network television debut on the Late Show with David Letterman[2] performing the song "Audition" to an audience that roared and cheered along.

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.

Ken Block and Drew Copland (of Sister Hazel), Emerson Hart (of Tonic) and Edwin McCain sang harmony on "Jennifear" as Scott Terry expressed several times how honored he was to be in their company.

The album was recorded in Columbus, Ohio and Los Angeles, California, produced by Jamie Candiloro and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in NYC.

Guest appearances include Ed Kowalczyk (of Live (band)), Kerri Spieler (of Swear and Shake) and Tim Hanseroth (of Brandi Carlile).

The performance consisted of both acoustic and electric sets and was recorded for the Cathedral Concert Series for PBS (rumored to air in March 2015).

In January, 2015, the band set sail to perform on the floating music festival Cayamo that featured John Prine, Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Brandi Carlile, Kacey Musgraves, The Lone Bellow, and more.

The band performed alongside hosts Sister Hazel, Barenaked Ladies, longtime friends Alternate Routes, Will Hoge, and more.

Scott Terry hosted the popular Rock Boat Songwriter Sessions and performed two brand new songs titled "Holy Rolling Thunder" and "No Place To Go But Down".
