about

Forty Ounces of Blues is a passion project recorded by a group of friends over the course of one day in a small Toronto recording studio.

Conceptualized by John Bean and with music composed by Andy Schmidt and Darcy Finck, Forty Ounces touches on themes of sorrow, loss, and the simple pleasures in life.
