Small isn't necessarily a bad thing. For Blue News, a three man, Indiana-based, indie band, being small and working with a restricted budget is actually a plus. Producing their first two albums for free, they have gone on to establish themselves in venues throughout the Midwest, and their music has reached national media exposure to ultimately be picked up by the documentary series Road Trip which airs on national public television.
What they have accomplished did not happen overnight; this success was not a fluke. Their achievements are the result of research and implementation, the culmination of everything that Brent Orndorff has done in music over the past 17 years.
AAJ contributor and Cross Harp Chronicles publisher David King spoke with Orndorff about creating world class recordings on the cheap and how Blues News has been gradually building an national reputation that, no doubt, is on the verge of becoming international.
