In 1997, Robert Sarazin Blake dropped out of college and hit the road. The folk music of his father’s house had combined with the DIY punk ethos of the day and produced his first album, ‘Another Irrelevant Year.’ For three decades, Blake toured across the US, Canada, Ireland, Germany, and beyond performing concerts to small groups of people in small rooms.
In 2017, Blake released his 12th album ‘Recitative,’ which earned an A- from The Dean of American Rock Critics, Robert Christgau, who wrote, “Chants that riff on the titles WORK, COUPLES, and SINGLE WOMEN are as instantly indelible as the Springsteen, Weill, Reed, and Van Morrison lifts woven in.”
His single, ‘Don’t Use Our Death And Pain‘ is a cry to end the violence in Gaza.
In Feb of 2025 he released Let The Longing Run Wild & Free which JW Vibe called majestic, insightful, soulful and infectiously tuneful.
The High, Wide & Handsome Band is Blake’s west coast backing band. With The High, Wide & Handsome Band, Blake puts on his party hat and the band puts a beat behind the stories.
