One of Northern Nevada’s favorite country bands, Clear Blue 22, recently joined the ranks of Nashville recording artists with the release of their first full-length CD titled “Right Now.” Clear Blue 22—Jasmine Schwader, Paul Reyes, Don Simpson and Dave Block—has been taking Northern Nevada by storm for nearly 4 years. “Right Now” was recorded and Produced by Paul Jefferson, singer-songwriter best known for his chart-topper “That’s as Close as I’ll Get to Loving You” recorded by Aaron Tippin and for his role as front-man for the up-and-coming Nashville act, Hilljack. The album features 5 Clear Blue 22 originals and songs written by some of Nashville’s finest including Jefferson, Porter Howell, Kent Robbins and Sonny LeMaire. In addition to some of Nashville’s best songwriters, the album also features some of its finest musicians with lead guitar tracks from Porter Howell (Little Texas), keys from Boh Cooper (Rascal Flatts) and pedal steel tracks from the legendary Bruce Bouton. The band also recently wrote and recorded a song for the International Earth Charter CD backed by the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Clear Blue 22’s name comes from Schwader’s days as a meteorologist in the U.S. Air Force. She would use the term “Clear Blue 22” to brief pilots of the ultimate flying conditions—clear, blue skies with 22 miles of visibility. With the ultimate flying conditions on their side and the release of their first single “The Devil in Me,” Clear Blue 22 is ready to soar to the top of the charts!
