GENTRY BLUE - What Lies On The Other Side

"What Lies on the Other Side" is the second release from Gentry Blue, a psychedelic hard rock band from Nashville, TN. It features powerful vocals from its frontwoman, Lydia Gentry, who also provides sparse violin throughout the track, powerful guitar, and driving drums and bass, tracked at Stone Age Recording in Nashville, and engineered by Trent Woodman. "What Lies on the Other Side" is about the confusing feeling of forgetting your true purpose in life, sometimes going even as far as forgetting your own identity- matching it lyrically to the huge expanse of space, best described as a ‘monologic slow-burn contemplation of a rock song’. The single is cut from Gentry Blue’s debut EP, releasing in late winter of 2021.

Few bands advertise themselves as a group which takes no prisoners, but that’s exactly what Gentry Blue does-- creating a passionate, raw sound involving hard rock meeting pure classic inspired psychedelic rock. Comprised of four misfits from all over the country who met in Nashville, Tennessee, Gentry Blue stays true to their roots as they seek to reflect the rock and roll aesthetics of this constantly changing world. 

Lydia Gentry and Jo Jeffries, who bring strong female energy to the group, hail from opposite ends of Missouri. Lydia’s powerhouse alto lead vocals slice through the air while her fingers flash on her electric violin, and is the band’s main lyricist. Jo slaps with punk-rock grit on the bass, rounding out the sound. Travis Fairley, from Texas, plays a slick and mean electric guitar with ease, creating a time capsule to the days of Hendrix and Halen, while still staying relevant in today’s world. Brendan DeBonis, from Maryland, keeps time with perfect drum skills, as well as having an intense persona during live shows.

Gentry Blue is more than a rock band-- they are an eclectic group who have chosen to ignore the mainstream standards of the music industry and carve their own path while finding their way in this crazy world, using catchy hooks as well as meaningful and philosophical lyrics.

In two words: Very Good !!
