Blue Rivera
About Us
Blue Rivera is a multifaceted four piece alternative rock band from Vancouver BC. Founded in 2018 as a studio project by twin brothers and producers Julian and Joaquin Borderas-Ochoa, Blue Rivera grew into a formal rock band with the addition of younger brother Hector Borderas and drummer Stephen Coley. Their style ranges from indie/alternative rock performances such as Arctic Monkeys and Cage The Elephant to classic latin renditions like Pedro Infante and Alvaro Carrillo, even participating in the creation of sonic scores for local student short films. Their EP releases such as "c'est la vie"(2024) and "sleeping"(2025) have helped them find a spot in the Vancouver music scene. With achievements such as performing at Canada Together, the biggest Canada Day festival outside of Ottawa, the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival two years in a row, opening for American touring acts Beach Vacation and Durry, 40k streams from their latest EP and approximately 300k likes across social media posts. The band prides itself in its Mexican-Canadian background and francophone roots, a trilingual statement that defines what they do.
