Ivy Blue (real name James Brodie) is an alternative musician from Te Aroha. Brodie performs live with a guitar, a loop-station, and two microphones. However, over the course of eight albums and an EP- Ivy Blue (along with his mysterious friends who play on his albums) has proven that his music is far-reaching and can relate to many walks of life.
From his debut album Reveal and his hard-hitting break-through Illusions right through to recent material such as Present Shapes and 21 and Patience; Ivy Blue has shown his skills in rock, pop, electronica, and alternative music, forming a back-catalogue that is both varied and well-loved by his fan base; despite battling Autism and ADHD- neurological disorders that make him see the world through a different set of eyes. Despite this, Brodie is a man of few words and allows his music and amazing live shows to speak for him- with Brodie very rarely appearing in his own music videos and giving very few interviews to support his work, which is a testament to not only his varied back-catalogue; but his subsequent success.
Ivy Blue's 8th studio album Elstow Stars, a return to his rock and acoustic roots following a period of experimentation is out August 14th 2019. On top of this, James is preparing to embark on Homecomings 2019 Tour of Europe and New Zealand, with a mix of festival and headline dates confirmed; and is putting the finishing touches on his autobiography Broken Blue Skies, out October 19th 2019. There are many more adventures that lie ahead of Ivy Blue on the long and broken roads; but this is not the end of the journey. Because Ivy Blue is only just getting warmed up.
