Album Notes

The band Bloodties was formed in 2001 and the members have written over 35 songs together. The cover of ‘Bloodties’, their newly released CD, depicts the meaning of the bands name which represents a rich family influence in the development of the band members’ musical talents. The band members’ cultural tapestry and familiar musical interests has produced an eclectic musical experience of Rock, Rhythm and Blues.
