Bio
We are a hard working blues band packed with experience based in Marlborough, Wiltshire UK. Playing Blues and Rhythm & Blues music, with a Rockin' Blues edge thrown in for good measure. We formed in 2004 to celebrate a special birthday of Jane, one of two singers in the band. This followed many late-night acoustic musical sessions (and early mornings!) involving the other founder members of the band. In 2005 we become a six-piece band adding Dan on blues harp to the guitar-based line up. Paul is the latest addition to the band joining us on drums in 2007... Out of the Blue are….. Danny Simonis - Vocals and Guitar.... Danny spent many years in the London music scene and in his youth was auditioned and short listed for lead vocalist for several professional bands. His Blues and rock influences come from many sources including Led Zeppelin and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He plays the musical director role in the band and plays a mean guitar... Stuart Whant – Bass Guitar.... Stuart has played with many local bands since he was 16 playing both cover versions and original material. These bands include Journeyman's Grace, Déjà-vu, and another band called Out of the Blue! He enjoys song writing with Danny to contribute to the original material played by the band. He tries to organise the band but confesses that it would be easier to herd cats!.. Jane Witcomb - Vocals and Percussion.... Jane has had a career in local acting and musicals but has spent the last two and a half years using her talents as part of the band. She has enjoyed this transition and likes blending melodic and rockier material in her singing repertoire. She has recently been persuaded into the role of feeding the band at post gig wind downs but that doesn't get her out of setting up and talking down the band gear... Chris Witcomb - Guitar.... Chris was the sound man for a semi professional band but now uses his talents on stage. His Les Paul guitar is the second love of his life and he proves that a husband and wife can perform harmoniously in one band something that others as mighty as Fleetwood Mac failed at. Chris plays rhythm and lead guitar but is most happy bouncing his way through lead breaks. .. Dan Collins – Blues Harmonica & Backing Vocals .... Dan has been playing the Blues Harp for over 20 years with bands including PJ Harvey & John Parish and Ray Dorset's Highway 49, and has jammed with countless other bands and artists. He also plays Bass Guitar, Keyboards and Vocals. Dan loves creating that authentic Chicago Blues sound through his range of Hohner blues harps and classic Sure Green-Bullet mic. Paul Davis - Drums.... Paul is the latest edition to the band's line up. He has been playing drums for more than 25 years and has performed in a wide variety of bands. In that time he has sat behind the kit in a new romantic 4 piece called 'Play', a rock/blues 6 piece called 'Fat Lardy Bloke' and a grunge band called 'Noise Merchants of Venice'. More recently he has been playing in local rock covers band namely Diezel Cheeze Weezel and Rocket Dog. Email us at:.. ..outofthebluemusic@live.co.uk.. Biog:.... In spring 2007 we released our first studio EP titled ..3AM.., as this is generally the time the band gets to bed following our gigs and those late night sessions around the kitchen table. 3AM is available exclusively from our local record store .. Sound Knowledge ..in Marlborough. You can also pick-up a copy from us at any of our gigs or just drop us an email & we'll pop one in the post. 3AM EP "Your EP '3AM' is terrific, a real mix of blues-rock. Great vocals from Jane and Danny. The guitar work is exemplary and being a huge fan of the 'Mississippi Sax' Dan is my new hero! The overall result is GREAT. People, support this great band, go and see them live and of course buy the EP!! And listen to them on ..Helsinki's Blues Cafe.." .. ...said Geoff at the Helsinki Blues Café Radio. New Single - Hurricane Blues In September 2008 the band released ..Hurricane Blues.. their début single from the forthcoming album ..Drinking the Red, Talking the Blues... Hurricane Blues is a track dedicated to all those people who gave up their dreams and took up a desk job. Go on …'Lay some dust upon your floor!' New Album - Drinking the Red, Talking the Blues - OUT NOW! Drinking the Red, Talking the Blues.. was released in February 2009 and follows the success of 3AM which achieved international internet station airplay. Recorded at the ..Mooncalf Studio.. in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside the album hosts a collection of songs about the thrills and spills of life – but mainly the spills – or put another way 'The Blues!' You can get your copy of the album at any of our gigs or just send us an email. The CD is also available at Sound Knowledge in Marlborough and you can now order the CD or MP3 Downloads from CB Baby right here... "This is a great guitar band that has enjoyed a very good audience response here in the past. With a tight set up and good honest foot stomping material this promises to be yet another highly enjoyable night in The Brewhouse. Good chance for a boogie with this excellent Blues/R&B band." .. …..The Brewhouse.. at The Cross Keys Inn. You can also hear us at the ..Texas Blues Café.. and on ..Hambone's Blues Rumshack... Come and hear us play Live! We perform a blend of material reworked into our own style and throw in some of our own material as well. We regularly play pubs and clubs throughout the south, and are also available for private hire. To make an enquiry just send us a myspace message or email us at ..outofthebluemusic@live.co.uk.. . You can also keep up-to-date with all our news on our ..MySpace Blog.. People tell us that we look like we enjoy ourselves on stage and that as an audience they feed off of this and have a great time too. In true MySpace style we want you to be our Friends, but most of all we want you to enjoy our music. So why not come along & see us live sometime soon…
