Cornflower Blue is Trevor May and Theresa McInerney – a pair of Ottawa, Canada musicians that have been playing and recording together for over 15 years. Encouraged by the radio success of their first single, “Dangle”, they put a band together and started writing and recording their second album: Run Down the Rails. The title track and first single is aimed squarely at Country and Roots radio but could easily be at home on Adult Contemporary formats.
Rootsy arrangements, thoughtful lyrics, stunning harmonies, and hot guitar solos have led people to compare Cornflower Blue to other female/male musical partnerships like Linda and Richard Thompson, and Emmylou Harris and Gram Parsons.
