About Me |

Blue Flashing Light is a metamorphosis of trained musicians, songwriters and vocalists hailing from Ohio and Georgia. Ian and Joshua Schwarber have been writing songs together since they can remember. After recording an EP under the band name Turn, Ian decided to take a sabbatical and study abroad in Bath, England for six months. In a wise marketing move, however, Ian took along with him a handful of four song EP's. And, after a number of serendipitous events, including the chance meeting of a Virgin Records promotions manager, Ian charmed his way into the World Music Awards in Monaco. He spent his time networking and walked away with label and management interest on the strength of the EP, particularly "The Feel Song". This songwriting team of brothers joined forces with Ryan Cattie in 2002, moved to Atlanta and issued a call for musicians. After auditioning several musicians, Blue Flashing Light (then called Turn) began to form into a sonic force preparing to be heard. They soon found guitarist Adam Monica playing at a local pub. After a couple of numbers, including an on the spot Pixies cover, the classically trained musician was asked to join that night. Following Adam's induction, the band auditioned other musicians including J.J. Bower, an extremely accomplished drummer/percussionist. After one brief jam session with the band, somehow everything clicked. With the search complete, the band relocated to Ohio and over the next three years continued to hone their craft and develop as stage performers. They rehearsed diligently, creating a catalog of over two hundred songs while shaping their unique sound. The band sought to strike an emotional chord with their audiences by combining honest lyrics with lush sonic layers and musicianship in their Ohio recordings. In late 2006, the band decided to return to Georgia to reestablish their southern connection, this time in the Rock bed of Athens. Now called Blue Flashing Light (taken from the song by the U.K.’s Travis), their homecoming will provide a rebirth, having already generated an incredible buzz in Athens. With “Since I Caught You”, “Shadowboxing”, “Wasn’t it Real” and “Feel Song”, the band is currently preparing to release an EP sure to finally land them on the charts and in the ears of Music Industry movers and shakers.
