Our first Presents series show of 2025 will be an up close and personal evening with BLAKE CHRISTIANA of YARN!
Blake Christiana is the founding member, singer, and songwriter for the four time Grammy ballot nominated band Yarn, and has shared stages with such superstars as Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, Marty Stuart, Allison Krauss, Leon Russell, Jim Lauderdale and The Lumineers, eventually accumulating over 1,000 shows in venues of all sizes including the festival circuit, crisscrossing half a million miles and performances in nearly all 50 states.
As a solo artist, Blake shares his songs and stories in a very raw, stripped-down format. Just his voice and an acoustic guitar, often giving insight into the songs he is singing. Christiana’s songwriting influence is simply “life.”
Born, Blessed, Grateful & Alive is the first studio album in 8 years produced by Damian Calcagne (joining Blake for a duo night this evening!) at The Pinebox recording studio, which finds Yarn’s rhythm section of Robert Bonhomme and Rick Bugel, carving songs alongside Mike Robinson and Johnny Grubb (Railroad Earth), Andy Falco (Infamous Stringdusters), Mike Sivilli (Dangermuffin), Heather Hannah, and Elliott Peck (Midnight North).
