Champagne Blvd

The one and only A-cool-stic Rock

About Me



Champagne Blvd was created in late 2004 by lead singer/guitarist Jay OBrien. After countless bands and side projects, Jay decided to launch an acoustic experiment that would enable him to share his thoughts and ideas with potential listeners in a positive way.
In June 2006, Champagne Blvd recorded their first EP titled "Scaling the Great Wall" and personally pressed hundreds of CDs to give out at concerts and along the way on their Acoustic Cabaret Tour Thousand Seven road trip across 5 different states.
The year 2007 marked a milestone for Champagne Blvd when it acquired both Dave Keller on lead guitar/bass and Matthew Fabre on piano. Both Dave and Matthew have brought their own unique trademark to Champagne Blvd's already well-defined sound.
Lately, Champagne Blvd has been spending their time rehearsing and tightening up their sets. The summer is vastly approaching, so expect there to be tons of shows popping up around southern California.
