Detroit Blu
Motor City Driven Roots, Blues & Boogie!
Blu Water Gateway
Recorded in the fall of 2023, this instrumental was written by Christopher Leigh, portraying the memory of sailing past the Blue Water Bridge onto Lake Huron at sunrise. It was recorded in their first studio at Ralston Village.
Since You Went Away
Everything, Simple, & Face…
During a bout of writer’s block, Chris Leigh remembered an exercise from a songwriting workshop he had attended years ago: pick three random words and incorporate each into the first three lines of the song. This trick proved effective, resulting in a song that captured themes of heartbreak and hope. The song was recorded in the spring of 2024 at DB Studios in Port Huron, MI.
