Blue Skies Turn Black

Concert Promotions In Montreal

About Me

Blue Skies Turn Black started in March 2000. Our goal was to be a record label but for the first year we were concert promoters. Our first release on our label was a 12" by notorious Toronto band BLAKE. After meeting several local bands whose music we really loved we started putting out more records. Today we are known more as concert promoters but we still release records every now and then by bands whose music we feel a connection with. Thanks for listening
