"Born, Blessed, Grateful & Alive finds Christiana getting his groove back so to speak, and the title reflects accepting — and being grateful — for what you do have."
"a standout track bursting with positive vibes. The song finds Christiana and his band effortlessly blending Americana, country-rock, and a feel-good funk groove that keeps everything bouncing along with a jubilant feel"

"Come On In" Livestream with Blake Christiana

I'm back on Ocracoke and curating another Livestream for your earholes. Another livestream? That's right. I can't believe it either, but I think I've found my groove with this new venue and I think I like it. I'll be doing these periodically until the release of the new record to raise money to help pay for its marketing.

I've decided to play our 2010 release, Come On In in its entirety along with the obligatory "deep cuts", a few more Dire Straits tunes and a few more requests.

PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD AND DONATE IF YOU CAN. All proceeds go directly to the marketing of our July 26th, 2024 release of, Born Blessed Grateful & Alive. But as usual, and most importantly, enjoy the show.

See y'all Sunday night, March 31st at 7pm EST, 6pm CST, 5pm MST and 4pm PST. LOVE YOU ALL!!!
