| Brian Burley |
Brian Burley was so excited when he'd saved enough of his paper
route money to buy his cousin Paul's red Norma electric guitar. His first couple songs were CCR gems, Down on the Corner
and Bad Moon Risin'. The Burley Brothers were always swappin' tunes from Burl Ives and Dylan to Shawn Phillips and the Grateful
Dead. Brian wishes he still had some of that great vinyl his brother Chris ripped off.
Over the years Brian's
picked mandolin through Ireland, sung around many a campfire, hacked out bluegrass and folk with The Cheshire Cats and The
Groundhawgs, and sung praises with Common Ground. Most recently he's covered rhythm guitar and lead vocals for Out of
the Blue and Blue Laws. The most recent resurrection of Out of the Blue offers a tasty blend of classic rock, blues, folk,
reggae, and rockabilly.

John Maguire started playing drums as an
eighth grader on Long Island, figuring (wrongly) that it would be an "easy way to meet chicks". He bought his first drum kit,
joined a garage band, and, in worn jeans and a Led Zep tee shirt, was soon playing his first gig, where he observed that the
chicks were fixated on the singer and guitarist.
Since then, he has worn a tuxedo in a burlesque
club band, where he had a difficult time keeping his eyes on the music, (which, you have to admit was a pretty cool gig for
a 17 year old); a leisure suit in a disco band ("do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight") and makeup on stage
in the pit band of a local production of "Cabaret".
In the summer of 2007, John was in the midst
of a 15 year break from the music scene, when out of the blue, he had a chance encounter with his college bartender. In one
of life’s strange twists of fate, John now finds himself attending weekly rehearsals in the Burley basement, where Brian
is once again serving him beer.
