CRITIC’S PICK: Yarn
Recommended by Hal Horowitz as part of Creative Loafing’s May 2026 Critic’s Picks
Thurs., May 7
Yarn
Eddie’s Attic
Frontman singer/songwriter Blake Christiana has been steering this NYC-based country/Americana outfit since 2006. They have released about a dozen albums, all in the strummy folk rocking groove. Christiana writes potent lyrics, like those to the surprisingly heartfelt and serious “Play Freebird.” And even though their “Cocaine Bear” song was turned down from that movie’s producers, its story about the titular animal is truer than the flick’s wackier approach. They have become popular enough in the Northeast to host their own annual festival, Yarnival, in Virginia, for the past five years and have been nominated for four GRAMMY awards. Yarn will feature music from the recently released Saturday Night Sermon. This will likely sell out, plan accordingly. — Hal Horowitz
