About the Event
Getting their start as teenagers in the late 1980s in Hershey, PA, The Ocean Blue released their self-titled debut on the famed Sire Records, which launched many of their heroes in the U.S., including the Smiths, the Pretenders, the English Beat, and Echo & the Bunnymen. Embraced by college radio and MTV, the band quickly made their mark with early singles “Between Something And Nothing”, “Drifting, Falling” and “Ballerina Out of Control” which notched them Top Ten hits on Modern Rock Radio. Early success set in motion a run of four successful major label albums, including Cerulean (1991), Beneath the Rhythm and Sound (1993), and See The Ocean Blue (1996), followed by a string of beloved independent releases, Davy Jones Locker (2000), Waterworks (2003), Ultramarine (2013) and Kings and Queens/Knaves and Thieves (2019). With eight albums and several EPs under their belt, the band continues to perform and record, with work underway on a new album.

The Ocean Blue is David Schelzel (vocals, guitar), Oed Ronne (guitar), Bobby Mittan (bass) and Peter Anderson (drums).
