3Chris Bandi – “Carolina Blue”

Written by Bandi, along with Matt Willis and Jason Massey, “Carolina Blue” is out now.

“‘Carolina Blue’ was one of the first writes that we did over zoom after the world shut down,” shares Bandi.  “There are very few things in life that can take you back to a certain place or time. It could be a song that brings you back to 18 hanging out with your best friends or a white Jeep that reminds you of an ex. This song is about seeing that certain shade of blue that always brings back the memory of a flame that burnt out too soon.”

Koziol is stepping out of the writer’s room and onto the main stage with his debut album ‘Wildhorse,’ due May 20th via RED Creative Records. Written and co-written entirely by Koziol, it’s a ten-song collection that recounts a decade-long journey through heartbreak, dream-chasing and self-discovery. Now he shares “House To Build A Home,” a song that paints a wishful picture of a picket-fence future from a man whose demons hold him back from reaching it.
