Blue Earth Sound is the instrumental project of Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and composer James Weir, blending cinematic Jazz, Soul and Psychedelic textures into atmospheric soundscapes. Named after his roots in Blue Earth County, Minnesota, the project “reflects both a sense of place and Weir’s collaborative approach to music-making”.

Following debut album, Cicero Nights, which has sold out across three vinyl pressings, Blue Earth Sound returns with Everything to Remember, a new record shaped by Chicago’s creative scene and writing retreats in rural Wisconsin. It will be released on vinyl and digital/streaming platforms on November 20th, 2026, via DeepMatter Records.

The album’s recent singles “Heavy Mild,” “Runner’s High” and “Limiter” are all out now on digital/streaming platforms.
