about
Produced by Sean McDonald
Wild Blue Yonder is a six-piece ensemble that fuses elements of rock, jazz, and funk, with catchy pop melodies and lyrics, to produce a unique indie sound.
What makes Wild Blue Yonder really special is the collaborative focus and drive they share to create songs. They love the feeling of playing music and using it as a language to have conversations with one another. Their ideas are inspired by the things they do away from music, as well.
Eli was inspired to write this song after seeing NASA photos of Jupiter’s surface and reading about The Great Red Spot, a mesmerizing storm that has been active on Jupiter for over one hundred years. He began to think about the energy of the storm and the freeing and liberating feeling it gave him. The storms on Jupiter are blowing my mind/They haven’t held prisoner to the road lines/Unrestrained power elegantly devours the delicate hours of the day.
Wild Blue Yonder would like to thank their beloved manager AJ Prestogeorge, Greg Joseph, Sean McDonald, Dana Cannone, WYEP, and most of all, their parents, for all the love and support.
The band will be releasing some more music this summer and a full LP in the fall.
