Blue August Launches New EP
Local Rock Band – COLUMBUS OHIO – Pioneers Blue August Launch New EP – Blue August II
Blue August – the award winning local independent rock band is releasing their debut EP to all digital store locations on Friday Sept 30th.
Originating from Columbus Ohio, Blue August is hard hitting rock songs with amazing musicianship. The two Stephen’s, Stephen Davy and Stephen Jones trade off on vocals as they perform songs with soul and passion; rarely seen on the local scene. Jay Ott provides amazing guitar skills to help paint the artwork while Anthony S. Anselmo‘s synths provides the grounding for the tapestries. Blue August has become one of Premier Local Rock Bands in Columbus Ohio.
With such richness, combined with imaginative and thoughtful lyrics, Blue August combines a bit of the old with the new. With elements of Classic and Modern rock, Blue August‘s sound transverses through the ages of Rock history.
Continuing the emotional storytelling through music.
The new EP provides a great example of the more reflective Blue August sound. Produced by Jim Cummings of Soundstage Productions in Climax Michigan, “the new EP literally jumps out of the headphones!” says Drummer Stephen Davy.
“We feel this new EP really reflects what we are capable of doing and are extremely proud of the sound quality.” continues Davy. “Jim did an amazing job of capturing our unique sound.”
Two singles Promise and Heart like Stone have been released to the public and already received critical acclaim. Likewise a documentary of the making of the EP will be released later this year.
“We’re working on a throughly funny and entertaining documentary of the progress of coming together as a band and making the album,” says Keyboardist Anthony S. Anselmo. “I think it is a great insight to the hard work and effort that goes into a band and the dedication one has.”
The album can be found at the BandCamp site for digital download. The album will be available for purchase and download on Oct 30th from Apple Music, Amazon and Spotify.
