Sea Are Bee returned to the area after raising his son Elijah in Eastport, Maine, who was recently profiled in the HBO Film Our Towns.

These recent songs are basically book ends chronicling Colie’s last musical gesture of letting go of one chapter of love and life while introducing Sea Are Bee’s early explorations of the next.

About Sea Are Bee (the artist formerly known as Colie Brice):

Originally a Sayreville-based hard rocker from the band Gemini, after experiencing a metaphysical transmutation upon experiencing the Grateful Dead live, Colie set upon pursuing a creative direction he terms the “Luna Muse” principle and started exploring a sub genre of music he termed New Age Blues. To that end, in 1997 Colie’s solo debut New Age Blues was accepted in the 40th Annual Grammy Nomination Entry List in several categories including Top Instrumental for “17 G (Tribute to Jerry),” a tribute to the late Jerry Garcia. Since then, he has ardently and boldly explored and sculpted his own unique sonic character.

Colie Brice is a multi-instrumentalist who has been recorded on over 50 albums, some on major labels with big budgets, others recorded DIY style on indie labels. Recording highlights beyond his solo work include three albums with Phantom’s Opera which at one time featured Michael Romeo of Symphony X and later Karl Cochran of Ace Frehley and Joe Lynn Turner’s band. He was also a featured guitarist on a dark, mystical live improvisational recording for Musso Records with Lunar Ensemble featuring Lunar Richey, Greg D, Dave Dreiwitz of Ween and Sim Cain of the Rollins Band.

As a stage musician, Colie has performed at diverse venues ranging from the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, to the Viper Room in Hollywood, California and many points in between. He has shared the bill with an eclectic variety of notable acts such as Dick Dale, Layonne Holmes (Jon Bon Jovi solo band), Juggling Suns, Tony Levin, Handsome Dick Manitoba, Marshall Tucker, Skid Row, Jill Sobule, and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes among others.

As a media personality Colie Brice has interviewed Ray Charles, Cameron Crowe, Graham Nash, Nancy Wilson and many others.

In 2014, the Abbe Museum in association with the Smithsonian Institute commissioned Colie Brice to produce and compose a sound sculpture to accompany their Circle of the Four Directions Exhibit honoring the culturing traditions of the Wabanaki nation.

As a music industry professional Colie has held positions at PolyGram, Classic Records, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab and Asbury Media. For many years, he was on the Preservation and Technology Committee of the National Academy Recording Arts and Sciences.

As a teenager in Sayreville, NJ, Colie Brice was one of the teenagers who helped select the songs included on Bon Jovi’s breakthrough album Slippery When Wet. Later, as a young man working at PolyGram Records, Colie Brice conducted all the vault research to help compile Bon Jovi’s Cross Roads Greatest Hits compilation.

Most recently, Colie has been a prolific live musician in downeast Maine where he has played with many local bands at regional music festivals. He was appointed a city official as the music project manager for the city of Eastport, Maine when he founded and produced the Eastport Music Festival among other regional events. In the Summer of 2022 Sea Are Bee returned to Lavallette, NJ after a tumultuous marriage break up which inspired his 40th solo album entitled Luna Muse Vol. XL.

Canadian Blues Veteran Wailin’ Walker Sets New Album ‘Bluesmen’ for September 2026

Canadian Blues Veteran Wailin’ Walker Sets New Album ‘Bluesmen’ for September 2026

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Blues artist Wailin’ Walker has scheduled the September 9, 2026 debut of his album Bluesmen via Jitterbug Records, according to the announcement.

The release comes almost exactly a year after Walker’s last album, Blues Lightnin’, which the announcement states reached the No. 1 spot on Canada’s blues charts within days of its September 2025 release. That back-to-back turnaround is notable for an artist whose catalog has otherwise been built over decades: Walker began his recording career in 1978 alongside The Houserockers and subsequently produced six independent blues records, according to the announcement.

Walker’s earlier records have had international reach. The Devil Made Me Play It, put out under the Amsterdam label Double Trouble Records, topped blues charts in the Netherlands, Spain and Australia, per the announcement. No Regrets and All Fired Up later topped blues charts in the United States and Canada. The announcement also credits Walker as a songwriter for Long John Baldry and Powder Blues, and lists a run as house band at Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom for 78 shows, along with a stretch touring with the Jerry Doucette Band from 2006 to 2018. Walker’s music has ranked No. 2 on the Roots Music Report in 2014-2015 and No. 1 in 2024-2025, the announcement states.

Walker has said he was personally mentored by Buddy Guy, Pee Wee Crayton and Otis Rush, and has shared stages with Johnny Winter, George Thorogood and Stevie Ray Vaughan, according to the announcement. Such associations situate Walker within a dwindling cohort of contemporary blues performers who have worked directly with blues music pioneers.

No further details on Bluesmen — including tracklist, personnel or recording location — were included in the announcement.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we see Walker’s mentorship lineage as perhaps his most significant legacy. In an era when direct connections to blues music’s foundational architects are disappearing, Walker represents a living conduit between generations—trained by Buddy Guy, Pee Wee Crayton, and Otis Rush, figures who shaped the electric blues sound itself. This isn’t merely biographical trivia; it’s cultural preservation. Each album Walker releases carries forward the accumulated knowledge and artistic sensibility of musicians who might otherwise fade into history as names in liner notes. With Bluesmen arriving in 2026, Walker has an opportunity to explicitly honor and transmit what those legends taught him, ensuring their influence doesn’t dilute through abstraction but remains tangible in contemporary recordings. For blues listeners and historians alike, Walker’s work functions as a bridge—proof that the tradition remains vital and evolving, not archived.

Berlin Producer FANCI Steps From Behind the Boards With Debut Single “Funky Sexy Cool”

Berlin Producer FANCI Steps From Behind the Boards With Debut Single “Funky Sexy Cool”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

FANCI, a Berlin musician who has recently worked as a producer for other German artists, has unveiled his debut single "Funky Sexy Cool." It’s the first taste of what’s described as his debut solo album, aimed at an international audience.

The move to a solo release follows a career that started well before FANCI worked behind a mixing board. His musical foundation started at age six with piano; he later studied guitar with Rudy Stevenson, who has worked with George Benson and Nina Simone. Stevenson also mentored FANCI as a songwriter. Diana Music & Vision Publishing signed him after hearing his early demos, leading to the release of two tracks on Wemby Records under the Gemini moniker. — releases the announcement credits with regional success, though no specific chart or sales figures are cited.

From there, FANCI moved into production work for other artists while separately writing toward a full album under his own name. The music blends rock, soul, pop, new wave and funk, drawing inspiration from artists like Jamiroquai, Prince, Curtis Mayfield, Peter Gabriel and David Bowie. Other coverage of the artist has referred to him as FANCI FUNK, suggesting the funk influence extends to how he’s being branded, not just how he’s being described.

No release date has been given for the full album "Funky Sexy Cool" is drawn from, and the announcement doesn’t specify how the single has performed since release.

Studio CarryOnHarry Perspective

At Studio CarryOnHarry, we recognize that FANCI’s emergence as a solo artist represents something often overlooked in debut narratives: the quiet power of mentorship across generations. Rudy Stevenson’s fingerprints on this story matter because they connect FANCI directly to a lineage of musical sophistication—the same hands that guided George Benson and Nina Simone’s artistry are now shaping a new voice. This isn’t merely credentialing; it’s DNA. When FANCI channels soul, jazz-inflected guitar work, and lyrical depth, he’s inheriting lessons from two masters who understood how to balance technical mastery with emotional authenticity. For listeners, this context transforms "Funky Sexy Cool" from a promising debut into a continuation of a mentorship tradition that prioritizes craft and character over trend-chasing. In an era of algorithm-driven discovery, FANCI’s path—rooted in human instruction and artistic lineage—stands as a reminder that the most durable artists are often shaped by those who came before.
