"Bossa Blue takes you back to the whiskey-soaked juke joints and jazz clubs where the blues first found the subtle pulse of bossa nova jazz ”  

         - Do615 / Nashville Today

Combining the cool groove of bossa nova music with the explosive improvisation of jazz, the driving heartbeat of rock & roll and raw emotion of the blues, Hudson Valley based BOSSA BLUE seamlessly melds diverse musical styles into one rowdy yet soulful sound.

Rich with three part harmonies, BOSSA BLUE  brings together the award winning songwriting of front man Brad Cole with some of New York’s most talented musicians/producers at the top their game, Mark Dann (bass, harmonies), Jerry Plotkin (keyboards, harmonies), and Bobby Sabella (drums, percussion).

“When things get jammy on stage, the energy tends to flood the room and that's a big payoff for us.” says Cole about the BOSSA BLUE  live experience. “We are in the process of recording our first album, and while we love being in the studio, playing out live simply brings people together when so much has had us divided.”  Cole continues, ”I find these shows to be seriously groovy.”

“BOSSA BLUE brings a touch of Brazil from this first-rate band”
