Blue October is a rock band originally from Houston, Texas. The band was formed in 1995 and currently consists of Justin Furstenfeld (lead vocals), Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums, percussion), Ryan Delahoussaye (violin/viola, mandolin, keyboards, vocals), C.B. Hudson (guitar), and Matt Noveskey (bass guitar).

Blue October was formed in Houston Texas by lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Justin Furstenfeld, his brother, Jeremy, multi-instrumentalist Ryan Delahoussaye, later joined by guitarist/vocalist C.B. Hudson and bassist Matt Noveskey. The name reportedly was inspired by Justin's brief stint in a hospital in October. Managed by Justin and Jeremy's parents under the name "RoDan Entertainment", Blue October released their first album, The Answers, in 1998, a well-received debut which sold over 5,000 copies in Houston alone. Due to a fan-based connection with the local ABC network television affiliate, Blue October was able to schedule an early-morning news performance — the band's first live television performance.
