Blue Sky Riders (Kenny Loggins, Georgia Middleman and Gary Burr) released their highly anticipated full-length debut, Finally Home, on January 29, 2013. The New York Times says, "The three songwriters have found an unusually comfortable fit."

A veritable who's who of music royalty, the group counts the iconic Kenny Loggins, Nashville songwriter Georgia Middleman (who has penned songs for Keith Urban, Faith Hill, Kenny Chesney & Reba McEntire amongst others) and award-winning songwriter Gary Burr (Nashville Songwriters Hall Of Fame, written 13 #1 hits and has penned songs for Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, LeeAnn Rimes, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguillera, Kelly Clarkson and played and written with Ringo Starr and Carole King) within its ranks.  

The creative spark that ignited Blue Sky Riders was struck when Loggins and Burr began working on songs together. Their chemistry inspired them both to "get back on the horse" and start a new band. Loggins welcomed the challenge but wanted to add a third female voice. Burr, whose accolades include being named "Songwriter of the Year" by ASCAP, Billboard and NSAI, suggested Middleman. She quickly accepted their invitation and Blue Sky Riders were born. 

Their debut album, Finally Home, followed the 2011 fan favorite EP, Live At The Rutledge, which introduced the world to their exceptional collaborative songwriting and unique sound. Driven by three-part harmonies and sincere, soulful delivery, each of these veterans sings lead as well, separating Blue Sky Riders from not only anything they've respectively done, but anything else out there. Over the course of the record, the trio merges rock, pop, and country into an irresistible collection of 15 songs. 

Blue Sky Riders sophomore album is due for release in 2016.

I often wish I was a shepherd. I like Earth, I think it's a pretty cool planet to live on. I write songs and record them for you. They'll feel like an old friend coming to visit.
