Blake & The Family Dog

About Me

Help Yarn get to the SXSW Festival in Austin:

"Blake & The Family Dog offer up a vision of americana roots rock that's expansive beyond its members tender years. The sextet sound touches on familiar bases such as the grateful dead, dave matthews and ryan adams. With secure musicianship and just enough fresh attitude peaking out from behind it's influences"
