SAVE THE DATE | Yarn Holiday Ball @ The Grey Eagle
Dec 16 all-day
Saturday December 21 | Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 8:00 PM
Yarn is an Americana, Alt-Country, Rock and Roll band founded in 2007 by Blake Christiana. Yarn evolved from its earliest days as a bar band in New York, NY to an outstanding roots band that’s shared stages with some of the biggest names in the business. You could say that Blake is the music and the music is Blake; that’s how deeply he inhabits the songs he writes and plays. You can hear him struggling with his feelings, whether it’s on a skittering country shuffle or on a mid-tempo folk ballad or a straight-ahead rocker.
Over the years, musicians have rotated in and out of Yarn, but drummer Robert Bonhomme and bassist Rick Bugel, along with Christiana, have remained the core of the band. Yarn has definitely brought people together with their music; their devoted followers call themselves the “Yarmy,” and for the last 4 years the band has hosted a three-day music festival, Yarnival, that attracted hundreds of fans to Troy, Virginia. Along the way, Yarn has gathered accolades from festivals, The Americana Music Association, landed on the Grammy ballot four times, and placed in the top five of the AMA album charts on more than one occasion.
