Big Night in Byzantium, the album, was written, produced and performed by Charlie Midnight and Marc Swersky, under the artist name, Blue McSaws, a name created by combining the names Solomon Blue and Kerry McSaws, two itinerant musicians created and written by Charlie Midnight in a series of vignettes that will accompany the album. As Midnight explains, “Big Night in Byzantium takes you on a raw journey through an emotional landscape of magical realism and relentless hope. It is an odyssey embarked upon by the narrator with God and an Apostle to the mystical town of Byzantium, where a strong wind is blowing the tumbleweed through town and a big night to end all big nights awaits.”

The music of Blue McSaws was recorded with a lot of help from friends, lovers and the kindness of strangers with no agenda except to let everyone’s creativity propel the sessions and with no expectations except to…have no expectations. “Big Night in Byzantium“ is the first of the eleven songs from the forthcoming album Big Night in Byzantium due out in 2025.
