Blue Hideaway

Blue Hideaway is three seasoned Fort Collins musicians who have each been active in our amazing local music scene for well over a decade. Frontman David Michael Boyd directs a music nonprofit called Blues Behind Bars which has been performing in prisons since 2009. David grew up in the age of classic rock and roll, influenced by the like of Clapton and Hendrix. He lived in Vienna, Austria for 12 years, played music in 19 countries and has won first place in two guitar competitions. Frank Lans is a hard working musician playing regular gigs with several bands. Clark Bennett formerly owned the drum shop that was on Linden Street in old town. He is a sought after drummer and has a collection of about 70 snare drums!

Together the band is covering classic Blues and Rock tunes as well as original material, much of which was written with inmates in Colorado correctional facilities. Lately the musical horizons have been expanding due to the interest in exploring jazz and other original music. We love to bring our audience into the music using some of the old school Blues call and response forms and storytelling.
