Blueprints Of The Heart

For years, Blueprints of the Heart has provided listeners with great catchy tunes and meaningful lyrics. Their name has been floating around in the music world, and they have shared the stage with artists like Newsboys, The Afters, Ben Jelen, Cool Hand Luke, Dizmas, NEEDTOBREATHE, and many more. But there has always been a desire to break through the sea of today's pop-driven music scene and let their message be heard by a larger audience. With two albums under their belt with Blue Duck Records (2006s Adapted to the Sound and 2008s Someday, We Too Will Shine), Blueprints of the Heart has emerged after a short absence with a retooled line-up and a brand new sound. The band recently released their new EP, “Messages" in April 2012.

His great love of music continues to guide the band toward its much sought after success.
