Behind the Scenes: 2023-24 Open Video

Are you ready for the Blues?

St. Louis native and blues musician Marquise Knox certainly is. In fact, “Are You Ready For The Blues?” is the title of a new original song Knox wrote and recorded to serve as the St. Louis Blues’ anthem for the 2023-24 season.

The song will debut in the open video that plays prior to home games at Enterprise Center this season, beginning with the home opener on Oct. 14 vs. Seattle.

The Blues recently partnered with Ryval Studios - a St. Louis-based production company - to shoot the new open video that connects with the team’s new Rhythm & Blues campaign. The shoot features a live stage performance from Knox and his band, along with Brayden Schenn, Robert Thomas, Jordan Kyrou, Brandon Saad, Colton Parayko, Justin Faulk, Jordan Binnington and others dressed in full hockey gear (or for a formal evening of live blues music).

The video was filmed at the Peabody Lounge inside Stifel Theatre. The production required more than 30 people, a variety of light effects, smoke machines and more, and took more than 10 hours to complete.

This season's home opener is shaping up to be another memorable one. The Blues will begin the regular season on Oct. 12 in Dallas before returning to St. Louis to host the Seattle Kraken on Saturday night. The home opener will feature a live performance from Knox, and a season-opening rally at Union Station will kick off the day with live music, prize giveaways and more starting at 3 p.m.

Tickets for Oct. 14 - and all other home games this season - are available now at ticketmaster.com.
