Shades of Green & Blue traces its origins to Cornerstone Coffeehouse in Camp Hill, PA,
when Jamie was joined by singer, guitarist and songwriter Jenny Brennan
for a performance of contemporary and original songs - some celtic, some Americana,
"an evening of music in shades of green and blue". It was a great success, so
Jamie decided to continue with the idea, especially as it gave him the opportunity
to play with friends he rarely performed with.
After three or four outings, he joined forces with his old friend and musical colleague
from Medicinal Purpose, Henry Koretzky, and Shades of Green & Blue became something
more permanent. Henry and Jamie were soon joined by KJ and SGB became a trio.
Solo work took up too much time for KJ and she moved on, to be replaced eventually
by another dear friend, Debbi Kauffmann. When Jamie moved to Arizona, SGB appeared
to disband ... except, it didn't! Jamie would return to the East Coast and Henry would
travel to the South West - it was an idea that wouldn't die and Emmy Truckenmiller
became part of the trio.
Henry and James continue to perform as Shades of Green & Blue, still presenting songs and tunes which come from celtic
and British traditions along with Americana, including not just traditional and contemporary songs, but also originals.
