A long distance collaboration between a San Diego songwriter, an Austin multi-instrumental musician/producer and a NYC-based female singer. Their first album of original songs combines elements of folk, rock, country and pop in ways that sound both familiar and unique.

"(Fiery Blue) has the classic fly under the radar feel that percolates on college radio and in college dorms. Irresistibly catchy in a left field way, this is a special treat that just keeps surprising you with more. Well done."--Midwest Record

The album is being released through Doubloon Records and will be available September 28, 2010 through www.fieryblue.com  and through CDBaby, iTunes and Amazon.

The Running Kind:  "The Girl For All The World"

"Having taken their name from a 1977 Merle Haggard song, the husband and wife team of Matt and Leslie Bosson cover songs by George Jones, Gram Parson, and Neil Young on this, their 2nd Release.  Alongside the three covers, there are seven originals with Matt and Leslie exchanging lead vocal duties throughout.  Album highlights include the gorgeous title track and the galloping twang of "Old Girl" which showcases Georg Alexander's storming electric guitar." 

"An album that resembles a gentle walk through a forest; a curved path in takes you through dark, enclosed, menacing spaces and into pastoral dreaminess and beyond. Vanish Valley is a conceptual folk song cycle. And you don’t get many of them to the pound, missus. "

"Melancholy and hope mix to create a record that inspires and makes the listener sigh in contemplation.  McCulley's playing on various instruments holds it all together."
