Friends of Blake

We are stoked you are reading this, thank you. We hope you read on....

J.D. Blair, Ryan Blair and Justin DeStefano...let's see where did it start? In a 105 degree Florida day garage jam session. J.D.'s obsession with jamming out, Ryan and Justin's relentless "keeping up" led to a very solid acoustic jam band...if not crazy! Craziness that has lead to over 300 shows in 3 years!

We want to be known as the hardest working band out there. We practice/jam non-stop and play weekly shows at local bars. Working hard on our originals and stage presence as well as getting people to dance like crazy and love music as much as we do has been our goal from day one! We aren't the best band out there, but we sure can get people to have a great time!

We formed Friends of Blake in 2008 as a cover band working on originals. We have spent the last 3 years polishing our live show stage presence and have been writing originals as well. We have nearly 40 originals and feature around 10 at each of our cover shows. We like to say we are a jam band and our live shows really get people dancing! Our shows feature nearly 50 songs...and we never take a break!! Don't want the people to stop dancing!

Touring/studio members include: Ken Peterson (lead guitar), Ryan Emling (lead guitar), Stacey Sexton (bass)
