In early 2003, vocalist Jaime St. James reformed Black ‘N Blue. Joining
St. James were original members Warner, Holmes and Young along
with new guitarist Shawn Sonnenschien. The band began recording
a new album titled “Hell Yeah!” Recording of the album came to a halt
when Jaime St. James joined Warrant as their new lead vocalist in February of 2004. Jaime toured the world with Warrant for four years.
In 2008, plans to get back into the studio and finish the “Hell Yeah!”
album were underway, as well as festival appearances and other touring. The new album (on Frontiers Records) is described as “classic” Black
‘N Blue as heard on the group’s original recordings and promises not to
disappoint.” In 2012 BNB performed on the massively successful Monsters of Rock Cruise with Cinderella, Tesla, UFO, Kix, and many more…
they will be back on the cruise in 2013! 30 years of rock, 4 out of five
original members, and still kickin’ ass!
