   About Blues and Lasers
Burlington, Vermont’s formidable rock quintet Blues and Lasers formed in 2007. The band is the electric sonic brainchild of Scott Tournet, guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter. Tournet, currently one of Grace Potter’s Nocturnals, recruited four other players to complete the lineup and flesh out the band’s sound – forceful, swampy, blues, heavy on rhythm (courtesy of the two-drummer combo) and slide guitar. Mastering the elusive low end pulse is John Rogone, a finger bass guitarist and backing vocalist. Driving and grounding the rhythm section are drummers Steve Sharon and fellow Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' drummer, Matt Burr. Contributing songs, vocals, and guitar is Ben Yurco, a sorcerer of electric tree and dimed out fender amplifiers.

Blues and Lasers incites obvious comparisons to the Black Keys and the Allman Brothers Band, while songs such as “22 Times” evoke classic Robert Johnson blues imagery about selling ones soul. The “Lasers” concept of the band’s name and sound was coined several years ago after an impromptu jam where Tournet and several friends described what they had created as, "sounding like blues with some lasers.” It is the group’s “Lasers” side that allows their songs to stretch into psychedelically laced Delta-blues improv jams, easily seen on their debut EP which consists of five songs that last about forty minutes. After recording the EP live, raw and dirty in a vacant club in Burlington over two days, the guys spent the next couple of weeks tweaking the sound, or going “a little OK Computer on what they had previously recorded” and adding all the “lasers” they saw fit.

Ran into Benny today ... Boy is he stoked about the new CD! "The 6 songs we got vocals on? Perfect. Scott is a genius!" When he finally left (talked for an hr while his friends sat waiting to order) Dave said ... "I wish he could muster some enthusiasm!" 8*)

Can't wait!~
