Blue Monday - 30 min Streaming from PITOIP on Vimeo.

Blue Monday is the definition of musical synergy.  It’s the result of decades of growth and musical evolution combined into a band of soul artist brothers. Danny Hull, Clifford Coulter, Chris Cain, and Ron E. Beck are multi-talented instrumentalists, songwriters, singers, and recording artists all based in San Francisco’s South Bay.

Danny Hull is the group’s charismatic front man, blending vocals, saxophone and harmonica, with Clifford Coulter as keyboard player, Chris Cain’s virtuosic guitar, and Ron E. Beck’s dynamic drumming.
