8/26/23 Grammy Nominated YARN to Play at Thrasher Opera House
26 August 2023 News
Green Lake, Wis. – Four-time GRAMMY-nominated band YARN will perform at Thrasher Opera House in Green Lake, Wisconsin, on Saturday, September 9, at 7:30 p.m. You might expect a band that calls itself Yarn to tend to spin a yarn or two naturally. “That’s what we do; we tell stories, live and in the studio, truth and fiction,” singer/songwriter Blake Christiana insists. “We don’t always opt for consistency. There’s a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings. There’s a difference in every show also; you never know what you’ll get.”
Yarn’s ability to persevere ought to come as no surprise, especially for a band that spent two years honing their chops during a Monday night residency at the famed Kenny’s Castaway in New York’s Greenwich Village. It allowed them to rehearse onstage, mostly in front of audiences ranging in size from five to a hundred people on any given night. Ten studio albums followed. Indeed, the accolades piled up quickly along the way. They have landed on the GRAMMY ballot four times, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts, garnered airplay on Sirius XM, iTunes, Pandora, CNN, and CMT, been streamed millions of times on Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon, and accorded the “Download of the Day” from Rolling Stone. Shine the Light On found shared songwriting credits with John Oates (the Oates of Hall & Oates fame). When audiences expressed their admiration, it brought the band a populist cult following of diehard devotees, popularly known as “the Yarmy.” It’s proof positive that the Brooklyn and Raleigh-based band have made their mark, and in dealing with their emotions, scars, and circumstances, they find themselves able to share those experiences with others who have juggled similar sentiments.
YARN’s performance is sponsored by DayDream Vacay Rentals. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
