Album Notes

In the last year and a half, The Code Blue Band of Central Ohio has finished 5th at the Marietta Blues Contest and 2nd at the Columbus Ohio Blues Challenge contest. The band has found cylinders it didn’t know it had, and is hitting on all of them.
Audiences may wonder, at first, what is meant by: "Mike ‘Captain Mojo’ Newhart in charge of ‘chaos’”. As frontman, wide-ranging vocalist, and harp assassin, Mike gets down and dirty as soon as the stage is within smelling distance. Picking up on cues like an undercover agent, Mike blends in with the crowd and becomes one with them. Back from a hiatus, George Pacura, Code Blue's original guitar player from 2000, has taken back the reigns on lead guitar, slide guitar, and some vocals. On the other side of the stage is OUR ONE-PERSON HORN SECTION, master of the baritone & tenor saxes, flugelhorn, trumpet, and now keyboard, Matt ‘Jebus’ Stuber, who astounds and titillates the crowd with his varying throaty and squealy brass blasts. Setting fire to the rhythm, is young drummer Frank ‘Da Freak’ Lapinski. Carving out the lower frequency on 7 string & upright bass is Gary “The Enforcer” Mack.
