Stratus Blue will positively influence YOUR life!

About Me

Stratus Blue originated in the late 80’s when the primary conspirators, Art Stockwell and Ken (KB) Beal played for appreciative audiences on the island of O’ahu. After an extended hiatus, the two have reconnected and have been producing new music at a break neck pace. "It’s hard to explain", remarks co-founder Art Stockwell. "The music and words seem to come from a higher power. We feel this is our purpose, and we feel fortunate to be able to provide this for the World." Stratus Blue has collaborated with an ever-widening network of musical talent that benefits the band’s diverse approach to modern music. Stratus Blue feel a responsibility to entertain as well as inform. It is our mission to shed the light of day on lies, injustice, innuendo, and malfeasance that affects, or will affect, us all. We welcome you to join us on our journey. Together, we can!
