Blue Kid's particular brand of so-honest-it's-embarrassing piano-rock grew out of the solo writings of Lydia Benecke, the band’s lead singer & songwriter. Lydia’s music draws heavily on her own daydreams and adventures to yield up an eclectic combination of pop, rock and cabaret.
The band’s fans have compared their music stylistically to Fiona Apple and Rufus Wainwright, and Lydia’s vocals to those of Adele and Sara Bareilles.
In 2011, Blue Kid won Flavorpill's 2011 National A Band Apart Competition, for which Stoli Vodka gave them a featured CMJ Showcase at (le) Poisson Rouge. Following this, the band went on to record their primarily fan-funded album Upright, Love.
The band have spent the summer shooting videos for their songs Next To You, Can You Keep Up and We Were Out Again Too Late Most recently, Blue Kid was selected to open for Nellie McKay when her tour comes to New Jersey in December, 2012
