ABOUT BLUE SKY RIDERS:
Blue Sky Riders (BSR) is Kenny Loggins, Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr. The creative spark for the band began when Kenny and Gary met for a songwriting session a few years back.

"The best part," says Kenny Loggins of that meeting with Gary Burr as he wrote for "How About Now," his well-received 2008 release, "was that when we sang together, we sounded like brothers. The last time I experienced that kind of blend was with Jimmy Messina in 1971."

Loggins, one of the premiere voices in modern popular music, called Burr, one of Nashville's most accomplished writers, afterward and asked if he'd like to form a band. Then he suggested they look for a third, female voice. "I've got the perfect person," said Burr. "Georgia Middleman. She's the best I've ever worked with." Loggins flew to Nashville and the three sat down to write.

"What a meeting!" says Loggins. "We wrote our first song and were singing with a three-part blend that comes once in a lifetime." With that, Blue Sky Riders was a reality.

Middleman, a renowned singer/songwriter, says the experience has reminded her of the Joseph Campbell line, "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls."

"I'm definitely looking bliss in the eye right now," she says.
All three sing lead amid the three-part harmonies that told each of them from the beginning that they had something special.
