About Me

Since forming in the spring of 2007, Apocket Bleu has quickly risen to become on of the hottest young bands at the Jersey Shore. Recently emerging as finalists in The Break Contest, they competed among 160 bands to place in the final 21 by performing at the famed Stone Pony.“Apocket Bleu may be a group of very young musicians, but their talent is too great to ignore...They may only be high-school-age musicians, but Apocket Bleu has become one of southern New Jersey's shining stars in the local music scene" Rebecca Grites, Press of Atlantic City, March 6, 2008Enjoying weekly radio play on Stockton Radio WLFR 91.7, the band continues to grow a fan base that spans ages from late teens to mid-lifers with their classic rock, jazz and classical infused original music.The band was also chosen from hundreds of submissions to participate in the first annual Cape May Singer Songwriter event this past March.“Music fans looking for a refreshing new spin on rock n’ roll may find exactly what they’re looking for in the eclectic local band Apocket Bleu” William James Riley, The Sentinel, February 28, 2008
