The ADRIANE BLANCO BAND is a Phoenix based Christian Rock band which provides family friendly concerts, scalable from an intimate acoustic set, to a high energy rock show. We look forward to serving you at your next event.

Rock 'n' roll and alternative country combine with the British Invasion sound, to lay the foundation for inspirational lyrics and melodies in Adriane Blanco's self-titled debut. His song "In Your Arms" earned him a #1 spot on KBCU-FM 88.1, with it's reflective tone and soothing harmonies. He has also made the top 20 of with high energy songs like his indie-pop love song "Near Me", parable rock anthem "I Am Loved" and the driving rock of "The Real Me". The 13 song album was produced by Patrick Andrew of the Grammy Award-nominated and GMA Dove Award-winning band 'PFR' (Pray For Rain).

Adriane Blanco was born in Tucson, Arizona to an ethnically diverse family of his Mexican father and American mother. Knowing he wanted to make a difference in this world through music from the time he was eight, he became involved in the music of his church. He studied and developed his musical skills with the Grammy Award winning 'Phoenix Boys Choir', which allowed him many exciting performance opportunities, including backing the 80's rock band 'Mr. Mister' for a performance in Phoenix Symphony Hall and opening for artists like Crystal Lewis and Jaci Velasquez at Chase Field. Adriane has also opened for 'Phillips, Craig and Dean' and sang in the gospel choir backing Diana Ross at an NFL Super Bowl Half-Time Show. Adriane is a graduate of Grand Canyon University with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts in Worship and has helped develop the music programs of several Phoenix Area churches.

As an artist who sees music not just as a commodity, but as a tool to help promote a positive change in the world, Adriane can be seen regularly playing at homeless shelters and rehabilitation centers in the Phoenix area, including the world-renown Remuda Ranch Center for Anorexia and Bulimia. He also serves as the Director of Music and Programming at Paradise Valley Community Church and the Executive Director of Renewal Performing Arts.

As a songwriter and recording artist, Adriane now takes his experiences, both good and bad and tells his story of God's love and redemption through his times of doubt, confusion, loneliness, pain, and reconciliation. As a performer, Adriane combines his high-energy presentations with his humble, soft-spoken, down-to-earth personality in both his rock shows and his intimate acoustic sets.

• We found Adriane to be very professional on how he handle the crowd and he was easy to work with. Our young Airman Stationed here at Davis-Monthan were amazed that they were a Christian group. Several of them commented that they really enjoyed the music. Great Preformer...I will bring him back. Tammie Musgrove DMAFB Protestant Parrish Cordinatior -- Tammie M, Tucson, AZ, 4/5/2008
