With their upcoming release, Saturday Night Sermon (April 24, 2026), Yarn enters a bold new chapter, blending their ever-evolving sound and layered textures with the storytelling Americana fans have come to love. The album opens with its title track, a soaring, guitar- and choir-filled introduction that sets a positive, uplifting tone for the journey ahead. From the singalong encouragement of Let the Universe to the heartfelt ballad Where We Land, the collection navigates gratitude, love, and the human condition, culminating in the reflective, comforting A Welcome New Home. Classic country, horns, gospel choirs, and dynamic arrangements bring depth and warmth, while rock-tinged tracks like Longshot, Might As Well Be King and Never Enough add edge and contrast. Since forming in New York City nearly 20 years ago, Yarn has charted repeatedly on the Americana Music Association album and singles charts, climbed as high as number 4, and been featured heavily on Sirius XM’s Outlaw Country, including their single Traveling Kind. Their 2024 release, Born Blessed, Grateful & Alive, also spent weeks on Americana and Alt.Country radio and appeared on the Grammy ballot for award consideration. Singer and songwriter Blake Christiana leads the band with his guitar and vocals, embodying the music he writes: “The band has officially found something really special over the past couple of years. It feels like we are finally the live band and album-producing band we always set out to be, and the message we are aiming to deliver has also found its foothold.” Alongside Blake, Robert Bonhomme (drums), Rick Bugel (bass), and Andy Thomas (lead guitar) continue to hone Yarn’s live and studio sound, and the band is only getting stronger. Yarn’s annual music and alternative arts festival, Yarnival, celebrated its 5th year in October 2025 with resounding success at Pop’s Farm in Axton, VA, a location that will continue to host the festival for years to come. The band will tour North America in support of Saturday Night Sermon and has already begun writing the next chapter of their evolving sound.
