Gin Blossoms. Marshall Crenshaw. Crowded House. The Smithereens. These are but some of the bands that come to mind when listening to Nine Times Blue. While they clearly wear their influences on their sleeve, invoking the classic retro power pop that first inspired them to pick up instruments, Nine Times Blue has a commercial, radio friendly, modern sound that is all their own, infused with Americana influences, such as Wilco, Ryan Adams, and Band of Horses. Comprised of Kirk Waldrop (vox/guitar), Eric Jefferson (vox/guitar), Jeff Nelson (bass/vox) and Jason Brewer (drums/percussion), Nine Times Blue's new album - Into Another Day - will be released in Fall 2011.
