Blame Sally

Saturday, May 1, 2010

A unique collective of four distinct voices and musical backgrounds, Blame Sally has
forged a compelling and original sound that has earned the band the well-deserved
reputation as “Bay Area phenomenon”. Recently signing a five year mid-six figure recorddeal, the band's spirited, take-no-prisoners attitude is a welcome contrast to traditional folkie navel-gazing, and the band has the songs, chops and pipes to back up their tough-talking, clear-minded folk rock. In May, 2009 the band released Night of 1000 Stars, produced by Grammy nominated producer, Lee Townsend. As they have always done, Blame Sally uses personal and topical issues to fuel their powerful songwriting and jubilant ensemble musicianship. Whether through the anguished voice of an Afghan war veteran, the cancer survivor finding some humor in new age bromides or the woman who’s passion comes on like a summer thunderstorm, each track on Night of 1000 Stars is rich with authenticity and emotion.
