Lu releases solo debut!

Lu is excited to announce the release of his solo debut, "Lucio Rubino"!  It's a project that's been in the works for a few years and is very near and dear to his heart as it represents his journey during that time.  Available now at iTunes and coming soon on CD!

StorySide:B "Beauty From Ashes" available now!

StorySide:B “Beauty From Ashes” is now available at iTunes through the band’s new label, The Jesus Daily Group. “Beauty From Ashes” is the first StorySide:B album since 2007. As many of you know, the band has been through shattering heartbreak and, from that, immense personal growth. This is the return. Lu, Preston, and newcomer Jesse Cruce teamed up to create “Beauty From Ashes”, which features acoustic versions of five songs from the “Everything and More” album and five new songs – including their new single “Teach Me” and their current Christmas single “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” (at radio now). And there is more to come – Lu is VERY excited, at long last, to release his debut solo album “Lucio Rubino” in the coming days. The beautiful songs are the result of his own growth and journey over the past few years and simply should not be missed. Another StorySide:B album is planned for mid-2012. Stay tuned…Lu and StorySide:B are glad to be back and sharing music with you again.

StorySide:B –Reformation Begins A New Revolution
Time heals all things as band overcomes tragedy to begin anew

Saint Augustine, Florida (July 22, 2011) – Bandmates Lucio Rubino and Preston Pohl announced earlier this month, the reformation of their band StorySide:B. The group rode a wave of success during the mid-2000s behind hits that included "Be Still" (BMI Award “Top 5 Most Played Songs on Christian Radio), "Miracle" (#2 on Christian radio), "Everything and More" (#2 on Christian radio), and "More To This Life" (#14 on Christian radio).

StorySide:B faced the most difficult of challenges in 2009 as bassist Ron McClelland collapsed and died while playing basketball on the Carnival cruise ship Fascination. Three weeks later, the band’s manager David Lipscomb lost his battle with cancer. The sad coincidence of events derailed the band, as the remaining members went their separate ways and pursued independent music projects.

Earlier this year, Lu and Preston decided it was time to again create music together. Growing from the challenges and successes of the past and embracing a vibrant musical future, Lu and Preston as StorySide:B, carry the same positive message their fans came to love and expect. The band’s new sound is both familiar and new – with the old grooves and rhythmic excitement blending seamlessly with a more acoustic guitar-driven sound accented by Lu’s smoky, soul-filled vocals.

StorySide:B has begun playing live dates and are in the process of completing a new recording featuring acoustic versions of the band’s hits as well as much anticipated new music. Both Lu and Preston will continue their solo projects and recordings as well. They also look forward to sharing more exciting news in the coming weeks with their friends in the media and their fans.

More information can be found on their facebook page at www.facebook.com/storysideb. StorySide:B is available for concerts and for live interviews in all facets of the entertainment media. Please contact publicist Terry Brown, Full Circle Publicity or manager Brian Horner, Sound Artist Support to arrange. StorySide:B is back – stronger than ever and excited to share their musical journey with you.
