Follow the Artist and the Music

Blue Earth Collective is an instrumental trio that plays original music, drawing on influences in jazz, funk, and rock. They are: Kelly Fitz (guitar), Craig Matarrese (bass), and Chaz Draper (drums). The band’s original music, individually and collectively penned, is a tossed salad of tempi and time signatures, juxtaposing tight synchronization and with open improvisation, served up on a bed of anatomy activating groove. It is music that makes you move…. carefully.
