Yarn's organic blend of acoustic country music has the warmth of old vinyl, the soul of Gram Parsons and the lyrcism and profound musicianship that only comes from each members dedicated musical journeys. This newly formed Brooklyn based band has used their songwriting, guitars, mandolins, and shining vocal harmonies to capture a passionate following throughout the East Coast. Debut album due out March 2007.
"The band's textured, bluegrass-tinged country is at once accessible and affecting. Carroll Gardens frontman Blake Christiana's singing voice is the aural equivalent of a broken-in pair of jeans—rugged, homey, and dependable. Among this bevy of top-notch bluegrass musicians, mandolinist Andrew Hendryx's thoughtful, articulate playing emerges as a crucial part of the band's sound. Though Yarn's jam band roots are manifest at times, the instrumentation never preens or overpowers; Christiana's masterful songwriting shines through in each song."
