About So Blue
So Blue is a progressive folk duo that blends sensitive instrumentals with evocative lyricism. With earthy vocals, dynamic guitar, and rich string bass, the group creates timeless songs that speak to our shared humanity – the good and the bad. The band, consisting of Devon Gardner on vocals/guitar and Adam Gurczak on double bass, released its debut EP, In Water and Waves, in April 2024. A five-track melancholic folk EP, In Water and Waves, features five original songs, telling stories about love, loss, and (as many can relate to) bad roommates. Ambient bowed string bass paired with poignant guitar serve as the bedrock on the album, over which lyrics tell personal and intimate stories. Inspired by the likes of Watchhouse, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Courtney Marie Andrews, their music harkens to the nature-inspired roots of Americana blended with classical and contemporary songs, sounds, and stories.
Originally having met in the sun-soaked Arizona desert, bandleaders Devon Gardner and Adam Gurczak now call the bustling streets of Boston home. Whether playing as a duo or in compliments of three or four with other artists, So Blue offers songs of solace, inviting you to find beauty in the wilds
The Open Road Coffeehouse is supported through a grant from the Mass Cultural Council. Please thank your elected officials for supporting the arts!

We have a mic and amp available, but musicians must be able to carry their own instruments on and off the stage. Open mic participants may not use the band's equipment.
