The Feriz Blue sound is shaped by crisp and distinctly emotional vocal performances, intricate and unique electric guitar playing, all finely layered above a solid foundation of expressive bass guitar and funk, jazz, and rock percussion. Having creatively found a way to introduce lesser-used chord progressions, riffs, melodies, and syncopated rhythms, while holding on to just enough of the familiar, the group has effectively struck the balance between originality and tradition.
