Bio

Robert Sarazin Blake

Let The Longing Run Wild & Free 

Album Release Concert

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. 

The first cut ‘New York City/Brookly Bridge’ celebrates the thriving humanity of Manhattan. 

New York is not America it’s an island it’s New York

rich kids come to get famous, immigrants come to work

the city belongs to everyone, make love, make passes

Lady flies a sign ‘bring me your huddled masses’.

Let The Longing Run Wild & Free is the 13th album of original songs written by the man from the most NW corner, of the most NW city, of the most NW state, in the lower 48. 

You can hear Joni Mitchell's Hejira, Lou Reed’s New York. Lucinda Willaims  ‘Car Wheels On A Gravel Road’, and Greg Brown ‘Poet Game’  floating in and out on a breeze through the open spring studio windows, but mostly you’ll hear the voice and the stories of the man from the most NW corner of the Most NW city in the most NW state in the lower 48. 

The six string and steel guitars sail on the waves of a pulsing rhythm section exhaling with a singular breath.

Dead ‘N Laws is an acoustic duo featuring Rich Barberio (from The Phakers and Unclaimed Freight) and Steve Trowbridge. These real-life brothers-in-law have been playing the songs of Jerry Garcia and Grateful  Dead for many years and are eager to perform their versions of these classic songs.
