The band will be performing both The Ocean Blue and Cerulean albums in their entirety.

Getting their start as teenagers in the late 80s in Hershey, PA, The Ocean Blue released their self-titled debut on the famed Sire Records that launched many of their heroes in the U.S., including the Smiths 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.

Brian Tighe is a singer-songwriter who has released seven critically acclaimed albums with his bands The Hang Ups, The Starfolk and The Owls. His songs have appeared on radio, television and in films like Kevin Smith's cult hit "Chasing Amy." He has collaborated with many other artists including Jeremy Messersmith, Ice Palace, Bill Bruce and Deep Pool in roles such as co-writer, vocalist, instrumentalist, producer and arranger. He is currently in production on albums with The Hang Ups and The Starfolk.
