BLUE MAR

Brazilian-born alternative artist Blue Mar fuses raw indie rock with the soulful rhythms of his homeland, effortlessly blending harmonica, intricate guitar work, and a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Following the success of his early releases HURL and The March Hare praised by American Songwriter, Broke Magazine, and Culture Collide, Blue Mar has carved out his place in the alternative music scene. His latest singles, Fallen Leaves, Tough Spell, Belle of the Ball and Never Ever Was have gained worldwide radio play and landed features on BBC, MTV Brasil, Canal BIS and Radio Rock.

​

Mar’s new sophomore album, OLIVEIRA, is a bold tribute to his heritage, subtly weaving Brazilian instruments into the gritty textures of alternative rock. Produced by Mar and Pedro Serapicos, mixed by Craig Silvey, and mastered by Matt Colton, the album channels the raspy intensity of Miles Kane, Kasabian’s Tom Meighan, and Stereophonics’ Kelly Jones. Deep bass lines, dynamic percussion, and driving guitars create a sound that leaves listeners torn between dancing and head banging. The album’s release was marked by a sold-out show at Rough Trade Berlin, followed by a successful European tour spanning Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, and Austria. Blue Mar, who has performed across Brazil, the UK, US, South Africa, and Mozambique, is rapidly gaining recognition. His OLIVEIRA vinyl is now available at Rough Trade. Catch him this May as he continues his Leaves Spare No Ground 2025 tour in South Africa!
