    The easiest way to describe the band Yarn is to quote an early review by Kathy Justice of the Raleigh, North Carolina, INDY; “Roots music from the shadows of skyscrapers, Brooklyn six-piece Yarn may call the Big Apple home but they nestle their sound in Nashville sunsets. Moving between scruffy alt-country and a twitter of bluegrass, lead singer Blake Christiana mines his heavy Americana sound from lyrics shaped by the genteel sincerity of Gram Parsons. His band follows suite, pairing Christiana's lo-fi hooks with articulate string accents.”

    It would seem that reviewers of this band agree. Since forming in 2006, Yarn has created a solid fan base of journalists eager to write praise for this eclectic band. As a surprise hit at this year’s local MeadowGrass Music festival, Warren Epstein of The Gazette had this to say; “Yarn will never mean just knitting fodder anymore, not to the 1,500-some music fans at this weekend's MeadowGrass festival at La Foret Conference Center. A six-piece New York band by that name turned the festival, now in its third year, into a raucous roadhouse on Saturday night, as it exploded with rock 'n' roll, gospel, country, Celtic and more. Most of the songs were originals, but they also did a phenomenal cover of Lou Reed's classic "Walk on the Wild Side." Yarn played at 6 p.m. Saturday and clearly upstaged the headliner.” That is heavy praise by anyone’s standards.
