Our new and awesome friends, Hey Ocean! recently stopped by for a BLURS Sessions. Hey Ocean! are a really fun band from the super beautiful Vancouver, B.C. in Canada. They combine the indie popness with catchy harmonies and hints of Jazz. Watch the BLURS Sessions in HD, it's great! They performed A Song About California, Alright, and Alleyways which are all off of It's Easier to Be Somebody Else. Go check them out next month at the Gibson Jazz Fest.

Special Thanks to:
Ashleigh, David, Dave & Dan
Theresa Micallef at the MuseBox
Adam McIsaac at S.L. Feldman & Associates

'Alright' is dedicated to Pearl and Minna, our d0p3 pals in NY!
