Blackman & the Butterfly are singer/songwriters from British Columbia, Canada.

Trance Blackman (http://cdbaby.com/all/tranceblackman) and Carly Thomas (aka Gypsy Butterfly, http://cdbaby.com/all/gypsybutterfly) have collaborated to complete an album as a duo, "Strange Daze". It consists of six songs that range in style, melody and message.

Trance worked as co-producer on the Carly's debut release, "Diversity" back in late 2002, and the two have been working together ever since. Their complementary styles of writing have been noticed and enjoyed by the fans.

Musically, the six songs of "Strange Daze" are diverse. The open title song is a pop-folk selection, while the song "Angel of the Morning", is more pop-rock in feel. The album also includes "Take Me Away" and "Real Me" which are both remixes from their solo releases. Both were co-written by Trance Blackman & Gypsy Butterfly.

The music is varied, the message is simple. Blackman & the Butterfly are avid believers in promoting the principles of positive living. That pattern carries over into their creative exploits, and most recently on the new EP, "Strange Daze".
