The "Big Blue Box" song was first heard on Laurie Berkner's award-winning 2019 album, Waiting For The Elevator. Starting with Laurie's stunning a cappella vocals, "Big Blue Box" builds buoyantly as each bandmate's instrument is introduced.

“I can't wait to share the new video for my song 'Big Blue Box,'" says Laurie Berkner. “I loved visually exploring a song where kids put things in and take things out of boxes – a quintessential activity in early childhood development. In the video we use each verse to introduce a new member of my band along with their instrument – guitar, piano, bass, and drums – while encouraging kids to use their imaginations and play with a big box of their own at home."
