Album Notes

New Jersey singer-songwriter Joe Colledge is back with his new release, “Out of the Blue”, on indie label OMS Records. Colledge’s highly-anticipated sophomore effort follows his 2007 debut release, “Table For One”, which had garnered significant critical acclaim in the independent music community and has earned him serious FM/Satellite and Podcast airplay, as well as a series of Film & TV publishing deals. Joe and his band have spent the previous two years touring the Northeast and the NY Metro area in support of the record and are now gearing up to hit the road again with this release of “Out of the Blue”.

The new LP features Colledge’s signature Jersey rock sound, complete with modern pop-rock hooks and a taste of modern Americana, while maintaining his traditional rootsy melodies in the same vein as Tom Petty, Counting Crows, and Gin Blossoms. New and existing fans alike will appreciate such tracks as the first rock-driven single, “Waiting For Love”, the introspective ballad, “Story of My Life”, the touching title track, and a pleasingly rare cover of Three Dog Night’s “Shambala”.

Working with producer Anthony Vitale and seasoned LA mixer, Eddie Jackson, the Jersey artist has compiled a fantastic rock collection in “Out of the Blue” that proves he is eager and able to stand out in a very crowded music marketplace. Indeed, the new album builds on the momentum Colledge has gained from his first release and there is no doubt that music lovers will be coming back for more with the release of this inspiring LP!
