"Bringing a fresh new sound to the blues, infusing jazz and rock elements into their original songs. A familiar sound, yet unique.

Blue Planet's debut CD "Out Of The Blue" is the blues and more. Track List: The Loner, Hey Baby, Hideaway, Fireflies, Out Of The Blue, Hollywood, Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven, I'm Tired, Ridin' With My Shotgun, Go Away And Leave Us Alone, You Can't Wake Up 

The foundation of their music is straight-ahead, but they take the occasional side road, incorporating jazz and rock and roll elements. Once you've listened to their CD, you'll find one of the best kept secrets in the industry... explosive guitar licks, driving drum beats, sweet synthesizer and Hammond work, great vocals, and a fat syncopated bass on the bottom. All this and some well thought-out songwriting. The whole is more than the sum of the parts: this band really plays well TOGETHER.

They started out as sidemen for some well-known artists such as Natalie Cole, Earl Slick, Archie Bell, and Quarterflash, to name a few. Now as Blue Planet, they have opened shows for Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Loverboy, Joe Louis Walker, Nat Dove and others."
