ʻO ka hana a ka hui Blue ʻOkakopa i kapa ʻia he pōhaku ʻokoʻa. ʻAʻole kaumaha loa kēia, mele mele, i hui pū ʻia me nā mele, nā mele puʻuwai. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona o ka hui ʻo ia ka hoʻohana pinepine ʻana i ka violin, cello, mandolin uila, piano ma kāna mau mele. Hoʻokani ka hui Blue ʻOkakopa i nā haku mele ma ke ʻano maoli.
ʻO kekahi o nā album studio o ka hui, ʻo Foiled, i hōʻoia ʻia i ka platinum. Eia kekahi, ʻelua mau mele mai ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana, ʻo Hate Me a me Into the Ocean, ua lilo i platinum.
I kēia lā, ua hoʻopaʻa mua ka hui pōhaku i nā album 10.
ʻO ka puka ʻana mai o ka hui Blue ʻOkakopa a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ka album mua
ʻO ke kiʻi nui o ka hui pōhaku ʻo Blue ʻOkakopa (mua a me ka mea mele) ʻo Justin Furstenfeld, hānau ʻia i ka makahiki 1975.
Ua lilo ʻo Justin i kona wā kamaliʻi a me kona ʻōpio ma Houston (Texas). Ua aʻo kona makuakāne iā ia i ka hoʻokani pila. ʻO ka hui pōhaku mua i komo ai ʻo ia ʻo The Last Wish.
I kekahi manawa, pono ʻo ia e haʻalele i kēia papahana mele. Eia naʻe, i ka hāʻule o 1995, ua hana ʻo ia i hui hou, ʻo Blue ʻOkakopa.
ʻO Ryan Delahousi ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i kēia hui, ke hoa kula o Justin. Eia kekahi, ua lawe ʻo Justin i kona kaikaina ʻo Jeremy i ka pahu pahu no Blue ʻOkakopa. ʻO Liz Mallalai ka bassist. He kaikamahine kēia a Justin i hālāwai ai ma ka hale ʻaina ʻo ʻAnakē Pasto (ua hana ka mea hoʻokani pila ma laila no kekahi manawa).
Ua hiki i ka hui pōhaku ke hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album mua (The Answers) ma nā mea hana kiʻekiʻe ma ʻOkakopa 1997. Ua kūʻai ʻia ma Ianuali 1998. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka moʻolelo e ka lehulehu. Ma Houston wale nō, 5 kope i kūʻai ʻia i ka manawa pōkole.
He 13 mau mele ma kēia moʻolelo, a hiki ke kapa ʻia ka nui o ia mau mele kaumaha a me ke kaumaha. He ʻoiaʻiʻo nō hoʻi kēia no kāna mea nui - ka haku mele ʻo Black Orchid.
Moʻolelo hui mai 1999 a 2010
I ka makahiki 1999, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Blue ʻOkakopa i kahi kuʻikahi me ka inoa nui ʻo Universal Records e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album leo lua, ʻo Consent to Treatment. Akā ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ka hopena i ka manaʻo o ka studio. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ua kūʻai aku lākou ma kahi o 15 tausani kope o ka album. ʻO ka hopena, ua pau nā ʻelele hoka o Universal Records i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hui.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke kolu album, History for Sale, e Brando Records. A lilo koke ʻo ia i mea kaulana loa.
ʻO kekahi o nā mele Calling You (mai kēia moʻolelo) i kākau mua ʻia e Justin ma ke ʻano he makana lā hānau no kahi kaikamahine āna i pili ai i kēlā manawa. Akā, ua lilo ke mele i ʻāpana o ke kani o ka mele American Pie: Wedding (2003). A i ka hapa mua o nā makahiki 2000, ʻo kēia haku mele ka mea i ʻike nui ʻia ma ka repertoire o ka hui.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Justin Furstenfeld e hana i nā mele no ka album aʻe ma 2005 ma Kaleponi (no kēia ua neʻe kūikawā ʻo ia mai Texas). ʻO ka hopena, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka LP Foiled aʻe ma ʻApelila 2006.
Ma hope koke iho o kona hoʻokuʻuʻiaʻana, hele ka poʻe mele i kahi huakaʻi nui. Eia naʻe, ma hope o kekahi o nā hana ma kēia huakaʻi, hāʻule nui ʻo Justin a ʻeha kona wāwae. No laila, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hele i ke kahua no kekahi mau mahina.
Akā ʻaʻole i hoʻopilikia maikaʻi kēia i ke kūʻai ʻana o ka album. A i ka hopena o Feberuari 2007, ua kūʻai ʻia 1 miliona 400 tausani kope ma USA.

Ma ke ʻano o ke ʻano, ʻo kēia moʻolelo, e like me nā mea ʻelua ma mua, ua lilo i manaʻo maikaʻi loa. A ʻo nā loiloi mai ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me nā mea hoʻolohe e pili ana iā ia he maikaʻi loa.
