Border’s Books and Music, Starbuck’s, The Fitton Center, Summerfair, and
Eden Song, as well as other book stores, coffee shops, local festivals, and
cable access programs. Each member
contributes to Diamond Blue as singer, songwriter, and musician, and their
diverse backgrounds reflect each individual member’s style resulting in a
contemporary blend of rock, country, folk and blues – they call it
‘eclectric’.
