Hello friends,

I offer two things here:

The explanation of the concept of Blue From Now On.

A vague personal account of the craziness of antiquated organizational philosophy versus productivity in the current creative climate.

(This is an underlying theme and will not be addressed directly.)

This story starts with a massive idea, and ends with an appropriate designation.

See, friends, I had a dream, a real sleep dream. A dream where I was with a band of 12 cats, playing in such harmony and relative dissonance that the intricacies of conflicting emotion were no longer confusing, but understood, and forgiven. I woke up with plans to the heavens, directing imaginary traffic like a madman, because this dream also told me it could happen.

The appropriate designation for this dream currently is Blue From Now On.

“Great Oaks come from small Acerns.”

(Acerns is spelled correctly, and irregardless is a functional word with meaning, and go fuck yourself is a real saying that people say to each other.)

Blue From Now On is the acern that will grow the Oak, and is the third SBGs simulcast livestream. We will again focus our attention on the roots, this time dropping the grass, and playing the blues.

To get real,

It is my opinion that there has never been a genre so stepped on and unappreciated, appropriated and misrepresented in the history of music as the blues. The complexities surrounding this subject are as deep as our relationships with each other; however, therein lies the brilliance. The interpretation of this form speaks volumes about the player and listener alike.

Blue From Now On is the SBGs’ interpretation of this genre.

Hey now, I hope you find something to enjoy here!
