  • On Friday, April 12, 2013 College Park’s Harmonic Blue played at Move the Movement 2013: Women’s Empowerment Concert at the University of Maryland. This was just one stop of the Spring Tour for the multi-genre quartet.

With a unique blend of jazz, blues and folk, Harmonic Blue embodies a soulful combination that will warm your hearts. They have a sound very similar to a fusion of Steely Dan, Alabama Shakes, Dave Matthews Band and Wilco. The band is composed of Zach Field (vocals), Gabe Bustos (producer and bassist), Anthony Ajluni (guitarist), and Sam Balcom (drummer).

Since forming in July 2011, Harmonic Blue has been quite busy in making their name known across the region. Within the last two years, the boys have released two EPs, including the most recent 2012 release of Villa Borghese, won UMD’s Battle of the Bands, and most recently were named The Deli Magazine Band of the Month for April 2013.

Harmonic Blue took time out of their schedule to speak with me after the show.
