due to personal constraints, i must announce that everything BHR has come to a close. from the first show in canal fulton with over 200 people, to the last show at rockin' on the river with 10,000 people...from the radio releases and on air interviews...to the movie credits and video shoot...to countless shirts and cd purchases...and to all the beer spilled and booties shaken...we thank you for all the great times and support.

as far as the new cd...we are trying to get it completed and in your hands.  the music is completed.  the vocals need done, then mixing/mastering/duplication.    we will post where to buy it, once it is completed.

thanks for the memories!

Blue Hand Recital (BHR) burst onto the Akron music scene in 2000 with a unique blend of power pop/rock that's guaranteed to get your feet moving. Influenced by modern artists such as 3 Doors Down, Matchbox Twenty, Lenny Kravitz and Nickelback, BHR jams with a diverse mix of rock songs, crowd favorites and power ballads. BHR released its first full-length album, "Dirty Little Secret," in August 2002. This effort captures the energy of a live performance in studio-quality sound that the band calls a "tasty treat." From the risqué title track, "Dirty Little Secret," to the seductively sweet "Too Good", BHR has had the luxury of watching 7 of the 11 tracks receive radio play. The highly anticipated follow up release “5 Ways to Thursday” was released in September 2005. Featuring the upbeat boogie of “Toe Tappin Hootenanny” and the haunting lucidity of “Not for Me”, this new ep highlights the maturity of the band as well as their versatility. The band's thought-provoking lyrics and cross-breed of styles is a refreshing treat both on the stage and on your favorite radio station. Both albums, produced by Rick Eckman and recorded at Akron's EHB Productions, are available for purchase through the Web site, and at area Borders Books & Music locations. Appealing to everyone from the mullet-headed rocker to the screaming 15-year-old girl, Blue Hand Recital possesses the right amount of sass to get you moving.
