BrightSide Blue is a duo from Nevada City that combines heart and soul filled vocals with virtuosic guitar-work to create brilliantly colored musical portraits. Ananda and Lindsay carry a powerful yet sensitive approach to their songwriting and performances, leaving audiences smiling and spellbound.

"This love story has a soundtrack." Lindsay Bellows and Ananda Vaughan, both musicians in their own budding careers, have found the perfect complements in each other. Lindsay, a songbird in human form, vocally soars with soft and radiant wings over the lush textures of Ananda's musical landscapes. Equal parts groove and melody, their songs keep audiences delightfully engaged -- tapping feet, singing along, and basking in the love for life that radiates from this couple.

Ananda trained for many years as a jazz guitarist, and has found inspiration in other guitar masters from rock, folk and world music. Lindsay grew up with pop and R&B music, and studied the influencers of her childhood idols -- the soul and blues singers of the mid 20th century. The pair brings together the best of all these genres to create a sound that is authentically and uniquely their own.

BrightSide Blue is currently writing and recording in Nevada City, and planning their summer tour. Their debut EP "Two Hearts, One Take" was just released this Spring.
