Consider Me

Singer-songwriter duo from London

............................................................................................................................................

“...songs with a memorable, timeless quality...uniquely British, eccentric and compelling”
Chris Twomey, Shindig! Magazine

“This London duo have clearly come of age on a steady diet of Magical Mystery Tour era Beatles, Arthur-era Kinks, Small Faces circa Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake and other fine influences. But there’s a pleasing DIY sensibility that suggests Cleaners From Venus with a larger budget”
Bill Kopp, Musoscribe

"...lovely..."

The Blue Dolphins are a Los Angeles-based songwriting duo composed of singer/songwriter Victoria C. Scott and four-time Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Alfonso G. Rodenas.

Characterized by beautiful melodies, tight harmonies and an uplifting positive mood, their musical style embraces Folk, Pop and Rootsy Rock with a unique timeless quality.

The duo write in a commercial style both natural and unpretentious, attracting a wide range of listeners with its universal themes and laid-back charm. Their music also has a special appeal with modern adult audiences (AAA).

The band’s debut acoustic album, My Favorite Word Is Today (2012), was followed by the EP In Between (2013). In May of 2015 they released an EP titled Walking in the Sun and this was an advance of their full length album Come On! released in September of 2015. The duo have also released a number of eclectic independent singles.

Victoria grew up outside of London, England, fascinated by her father's collection of Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Little Richard and Rolling Stones records. After learning to play the recorder, piano and guitar, Scott had also taught herself to sing by the age of 12, emulating the various styles of Carole King, Nina Simone, N'Dea Davenport and Aretha Franklin.

Alfonso Rodenas is a four-time Grammy-award winning sound engineer from Spain. His music career began as a bassist in the indie pop-rock band Vitamin Vil in Valencia, Spain, and has since spanned 30 years, the last 17 of which have seen him work as a freelance producer, recording and mixing engineer in Los Angeles, CA.

Victoria and Alfonso met fatefully at the legendary rock pit "The Cat Club" on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles and soon started playing and recording together. Their debut album, 2012’s My Favorite Word Is Today, is a soulful blend of Indie, Folk/Rock and Bossa Nova. Simple and unfettered, they kept their focus on acoustic instruments, stripped down production and emotionally honest vocals. Critics hailed the album. Pamela Des Barres, author of "I'm with the Band", said the “album’s sentiments touched my heart" and described Victoria’s voice as “just gorgeous".

2013’s In Between EP grouped songs recorded by the band between its two major works to date. It shows the musical couple departing from its original acoustic sound into an unmapped new music landscape, full of emergent future possibilities.

In 2014 the duo started work on a collection of new songs, 14 of which saw light in their most recently released album Come On!. The album is a major push forward for the band toward a more complex and fully produced music scenario, where sonic aesthetics and songwriting are richer and more varied, departing from the pared-down premises and acoustic songs that characterized their first work. Come On! embraces Folk, Pop and Rootsy Rock with the duo’s characteristic optimism and charm. The album was released in September 2015.

In 2016 and '17, whilst promoting their album Come On! The Blue Dolphins started work on new songs for their next release, which was successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2018. The new recordings were partially released as a succession of singles in 2019, with the album coming out in 2020. 

The Blue Dolphins play to fan bases in the US, UK, Spain and Mexico.

"Actually the nom-de-plum of Durham-based singer songwriter, Paul Lewis, but whether solo or filled in with “band” through the magic of modern technology, these songs are too good not to share! Blending quirky Brit-pop chord changes with more classic Beatle-esque powerpop, as well as influences from ‘80s Paisley Underground and early ‘90s radio pop, the high writers could quickly become the new favorite “band” of many a pop fan!" - David Bash, International Pop Overthrow

'Middling somewhere between indie and shoegazer in terms of how their sound come across, what does come across is very high on appeal. The layered guitar work adds a neat sense of urgency and gives things a vibrant kick where needed. There are also fine blues influences coming to bear on the way things are worked. Everything you could ask for in a band to wile away the hours is there to be picked up from listening to them.' - U&I Music Magazine
