The Blue Hippies have been rocking audiences in Butte County and beyond since 2005. Consisting of Dave Boos on guitar and vocals, Curtis Lemire on guitar and vocals, Lee Garstin on bass guitar and vocals, and Eddie Birdseye on Percussion, Harmonica and vocals. The Blue Hippies have a long tradition of supporting local charities for the betterment of the communities we live in.

Curtis Lemire

As one of the founding members of the Blue Hippies, Curtis has been entertaining the people of Butte County for thirty years. With a strong Neil Young influence, Curtis brings a folk rock edge to the Blue Hippies music. (He kinda named the band too!)

Eddie Birdseye

The first and last drummer The Blue Hippies ever knew! Eddie brings Latin roots to his percussion work for the Blue Hippies. Another long time Butte County resident, Eddie has entertained throughout the state.

Dave Boos

With a back catalog that goes back for decades, Dave Boos is part of the foundation of this band. Another Chico native, Dave inspires the youth of Butte county through his work, and all of us through his music.

Lee Garstin

Born and raised in Byfleet, Surrey, England (google it. It’s a pretty little village :-)), Lee moved to Chico in 2007 and joined the band soon after. Bringing british rock and roll roots to the band, Lee’s bass work and vocals help build the foundation of the Blue Hippies music.

Bob Moore

Bob was pretty much there from the start. If we need anything, Bob is there. "How does it sound Bob?", Bob is there. "Do you have the setlist Bob?", Bob is there. He keeps us wrangled. If you know the Blue Hippies, you know Bob.
