Blue Rose Cafe, a legendary band in the Red Dirt music scene of the '70s, left an indelible mark on the Americana alt-country genre. With a lineup that included talented musicians like Pat Long, Kevin Welch, and Gary Johnson, the band's fusion of folk, swing, jazz, bluegrass, and blues created a unique sound that continues to influence musicians today.
During their two and a half years of touring throughout the southwest, Blue Rose Cafe developed a devoted following and inspired a fan to name his Tulsa restaurant after the band. This restaurant later gained fame as the birthplace of the pop group Hanson. With their innovative musical style and lasting impact on Kevin Welch's songwriting, Blue Rose Cafe remains a significant and influential band in the history of progressive country music.
