Into Music: Blake Christiana

Ways To Subscribe
ERIC RAYBURN

North Carolina’s Yarn has just released the album Saturday Night Sermons. In many ways the record reflects songwriter Blake Christiana’s sense of optimism and goodwill. With literary-quality lyrics and musical settings that inspire moments of solemnity and the urge to dance with abandon, the collection demonstrates that Yarn remains a band dedicated to the elevation of the human spirit and an appreciation for all corners of the human condition.

Christiana recently spoke about shifting his mental outlook, how a stable home life has aided his career, and how he and his wife found their current home thanks to a dream.
