Stage Times and Band Information
Blü Egyptian
Blü Egyptian are coming off another awe-inspiring year. The self-described “Prog-jam that goes ham" band is known for their explosive live performances fusing rock, bluegrass, funk, reggae and electronica. Based in the Sacramento area, the band continues to play for growing audiences in the Northwest, Colorado, Arizona and Southern California while sharing the stage with renowned national touring acts like Dogs in a Pile, Jerry's Middle Finger, Pink Talking Fish, Dizgo, The Mother Hips and Thumpasaurus. There's been an ongoing buzz from memorable festival sets at Burning Man, Golden Road Gathering, Cascade Equinox, Gambler's Run, Hog Farm Hideaway and more. With each show being different from the last, every set is a soundscape of original songs and choice covers for a dance friendly out-of-body experience.
In 2025, the band released 3 singles, a live compilation “Live 2024” and various live shows on Bandcamp while performing to growing crowds since the release of their third album “Chantress of Amun" in 2024.
