Yarn – opening with Mike Brown. Even the most dire circumstance can offer opportunity for new beginnings. Just ask singer/songwriter Blake Christiana or any of the other members of the once Brooklyn based Americana band called Yarn.

Ultimately those setbacks and difficulties led to new opportunities and allowed a little light to shine through.”
