If Jon Eaton hadn't played his music too loud, lead singer Doug Hough and lead guitarist Jon Eaton would still be selling computers at Dell and trying to pull in their next commission check. But, after Doug heard Jonís music blaring, and discovered that they had similar musical interests and a shared dream of stardom, Blue Morning was formed in 2002.
The band started out as a duo with just Hough and Eaton sharing the spotlight at local coffee shops around Nashville. But after recording their 10-song demo Light of Day, the duo saw a different future ahead. Equipped with a full band, Light of Day generated such a strong buzz around the local circuit that it left venues and fans asking, "why arenít these guys signed?"
In October 2003, Blue Morning answered their fans' requests for a new record, and headed back into the studio to record their new album, Any Day Now, produced and engineered by Greg Strizek at Eckert Labs Nashville. Written and co-written by Doug Hough, Jon Eaton, and local Nashville staff writers, Any Day Now has found its niche in today's alternative radio scene.
"Broadcast," Track .3 of Any Day Now, stands as the bandís signature track and mission statement, with lyrics that say ìBroadcast for everyone to know/Send it out on the radio! They want their music heard! Itís hard to miss the similarity to REM's Michael Stipe on this song.
Other tracks, such as "I Want" and "Run" illustrate a lyric driven rock sound similar to popular artists/bands, such as Matchbox 20 and Angie Aparo. While songs, such as "Thorn", show the bandís somber side, resembling Staind.
In today's music, when the lyrics usually matter less than the songís production, Blue Morning gives out an original sound, full of creative ìhook drivenî melodies and master rock arrangements that sound just as good stripped down to just guitar and vocal as they do fully produced.

Blue Morning - Join us in congratulating record producer Kim Copeland for her work on the Rachel Williams album. Check this great review by R.K. Oermann with Music Row Magazine on Rachel's current single, The Only Thing Harder Than Leaving.
"She has the goods. This creeps up on you with cat’s paws. The languid pace, echoing instruments, spacious production and her hushed, aching delivery are all immensely seductive. The lyric of leaving home is full of terrific details. And her falsetto leaps in the bridge are like little daggers to the heart. A mini masterpiece. This, by the way, is the third single in a row that I have raved about from this performer. "
