BlueLand Records was founded by Brian Landrus in 2010.
I started this record label to release the music that I created which was hard to confine into a spefic genre.I grew up living and enjoying many styles of music, most of which incorporate improvisation.
The label will be releasing two records this year, and will release 2-4 records a year in the future. Thank you very much for finding us and I truly hope you enjoy the music we bring to you.
