With its
roots in San Diego’s Hillcrest and North Park, a lively and talented band—aptly
named Enter the Blue Sky is drawing
attention to itself and because of the group’s excellent performances is no
doubt destined for more than neighborhood venues.
Like all
of us in life we dream of that day when the world recognizes our talent. Case
in point: Enter the Blue Sky is a
group worthy of paying attention to.
Catch
them July 14, from 6 to 8 pm in University Heights as they perform in the
Summer in the Park Concert Series at Trolley Barn Park (Adams and Florida
Streets).
Paced by vocalist,
lead Sandé Lollis is a powerhouse of energy and melody; she is backed by three
talented and passionate instrumentalists. Karen Childress-Evans, on viola,
brings achingly beautiful tones and a classic sensibility to the band; Alberto
González, on upright bass, has an innate sense of groove, with a solid beat and
imaginative fills; and John Seever, on harmonica, underlays dreamy chords and
explosive leads adding depth to the band’s unique sound.
Together,
Enter the Blue Sky combines decades
of experience and individual talent to present a new and vibrant musical force
to the local music scene.
