Yarn is a music group that formed in Brooklyn, New York in 2006, now based in North Carolina. The group is led by songwriter Blake Christiana on vocals and guitar, a rotating group of electric guitarists including Matteo Joseph Recchio, Joel Timmons, and others, Rick Bugel on bass, and Robert Bonhomme on drums. Almost every live date includes some surprise guests or featured soloists.

By playing up to 170 dates a year, they have earned a reputation as a hard-working live act. "They have landed on the Grammy ballot 4 times, garnered nods from the Americana Music Association, placed top five on both Radio and Records and the AMA album charts, garnered airplay on Sirius FM, iTunes, Pandora, CNN, and CMT, and also accorded the “Download of the Day” from Rolling Stone. Their latest project "Lucky 13" involves releasing new singles, with "A" and "B" side, on the 13th of each month, charging $5 for an entire year's worth of music. They have recorded 11 albums, in addition to a couple of releases under Christiana’s name.
