Robert Sarazin Blake Let The Longing Run Wild & Free (release show)

Since 2015 Bellingham, WA Songwriter and performer has been collaborating with Hudson Valley musicians Lee Falco, Brandon Morrison, Will Bryant, & Connor Kennedy. Their collaboration on Blake’s 2017 album ‘Recitative’ earned an A- from Rock Critic Robert Christgau who wrote: Chants that riff on the titles ‘Work,’ ‘Couples,’ and ‘Single Women’ are as instantly indelible as the Springsteen, Weill, and Van Morrison lifts woven in.

Starting in March of 2020 and resuming in May of 2023 Blake and the band, along with Cindy Cashdollar, recorded 8 songs that investigate life, love and the pursuit of happiness. You can hear Joni Mitchell's Hejira, Lou Reed’s New York. Lucinda William’s Car Wheels On A Gravel Road, and Greg Brown’s Poet Game floating in and out on a breeze through the open spring studio windows, but mostly you’ll hear the baritone voice and the stories.
