Local Columbus Indie Rock Band ‘Blend’ releases Cycles
Just a heads up folks about a new Indie Rock album I am on!
I was fortunate enough to guest star on some of the songs on the recent Blend album ‘Cycles’ which just came out recently. Blend is a local indie rock band from here in Columbus which has an amazing vibe! Mixing both classic prog rock and modern rock they are highly entertaining. Their vocals J.D. Freeman did the vocals for our Picasso’s Dream single ‘Notion.’ If you like a hard-hitting rock this is a freaking amazing album. I was honored to help add some supplemental keyboards to this collection.
