With a new album, Fire, Blood, Water, and a new name (formerly "The Blackouts"), The Living Blue has become more than just a Champaign-Urbana household name. With their song "State of Affairs" featured on One Tree Hill in January, The Living Blue proved that they have arrived on the national scene. Made up of Steve Ucherek on vocals and guitar, Andrew Davidson on bass, Joe Prokop on guitar and Mark Schroder on drums, The Living Blue has spent the last year touring. Expect to hear big things from The Living Blue in the very near future.
