- Yarn:
Yarn owes as much to Gram Parsons and Earl Scruggs as to Jerry Garcia and Exile on Main St.-era Rolling Stones. Following in a fine tradition that includes forward thinking roots bands like The Flying Burrito Brothers, New Riders of the Purple Sage and Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Yarn weaves roots musical idioms into a fresh, exciting sound that turns on hipsters and country fans alike.
Edie Brickell, anticipating a performance with Yarn, summed it up: "I'm excited to get to sing with this band. They have a lot of heart and soul." Yarn has received a bit of buzz and excited international press about their last release, Empty Pockets, which has been in the national AMA charts since October 2008 (reaching #5) and made the Ballot for the 2009 Grammy Awards in several categories.
Yarn is: Blake Christiana: Vocals, Guitar Trevor MacArthur: Vocals, Guitar Andrew Hendryx: Mandolin, Harmonica Rod Hohl: Electric Guitar, Dobro, Vocals Rick Bugel: Bass Jay Frederick: Drums, Percussion Jeremy Wall: Tenor Saxophone
