YARNSould Out Presents: YarnDoors: 7:00pmShow: 8:00pm A band that calls itself Yarn to, naturally, tend to spin a yarn or two. Thats what we do, we tell stories, live and in the studio, truth and fiction,singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. We dont always opt for consistency. Theres a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. Theres a difference in every show as well, you never know what youre going to get.Yarns ability to persevere ought to come as no great surprise, especially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday night residency at the famed Kennys Castaway in New Yorks Greenwich Village. In effect, it allowed them to rehearse onstage, mostly in front of audiences that often ranged in size from five to a hundred people on any given night. 10 studio albums followed — Yarn (2007), Empty Pockets (2008), Leftovers Part One (2009), Come On In (2010), Leftovers Part 2 (2011), Almost Home (2012), Shine the Light On (2013), This Is The Year (2016), and Lucky 13 parts 1 ve driven nonstop, made countless radio station appearances, driven broken-down RVs and watched as their van caught fire. Theyve paid their dues and then some, looking forward even as they were forced to glance behind.Indeed, the accolades piled up quickly along the way. They have landed on the Grammy ballot 4 times, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts, garnered airplay on Sirius XM, iTunes, Pandora, CNN, and CMT, been streamed millions of times on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon, and also accorded the Download of the Day from Rolling Stone. Shine the Light On found shared songwriting credits with John Oates (the Oates of Hall the Yarmy. Its proof positive that the Brooklyn and Raleigh based band have made their mark, and in dealing with their emotions, scars and circumstances, they find themselves in a position to share those experiences with others who have juggled similar sentiments.As Yarn look forward to their next 2 studio releases in 2023, Blake looks to establish himself more as the songwriter hes always been, and not the pseudo bluegrass band, bar band or jam band, that Yarn often gets immediately lumped into. Although all those elements of music exist in the Yarn catalogue and their live performances, Blakes number one priority is and always has been the song. These next 2 releases are without a doubt Blakes most personal, polished, and best of Yarns career so far. Notes on Seating: Open seating, may be limited or standing room only. First come, first seated. Open dance floor may obscure sightlines.
