Blake Brown is an American singer-songwriter from Denver, Colorado. After participating in many collaborative projects, Blake Brown formed The American Dust Choir. His idea was to have the flexibility of playing solo, as a duo (with his wife Tiffany), and in various incarnations including a revolving cast of musicians. The American Dust Choir includes friends and musicians of some well-known groups such as The Fray, The Films, and Tennis.
The line-up has since galvanized and includes mainstays Tiffany Brown (keyboard/vocals), Adam Blake (drums), Jason Legler (bass), and Trent Nelson (guitar). The band released its debut full length LONG WAY HOME in March 2018. Brown’s music is rooted in acoustic sounds, and characterized by his seemingly simple, but nuanced, melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
Their new EP Turning Tides will be released on September 27th, 2019 with regional and national tour dates to follow including activity surrounding Nashville’s Americana Fest and New York City. We are thrilled to premiere the track “Hanging By A Wire” today on GroundSounds! The track is a heartfelt and skilled showcase of Americana and a fantastic introduction to what’s in store on the new EP. It’s the perfect windows-down “open road” song.
In Blake’s own words:
“Hanging by a Wire” is about leaving a part of myself behind, looking ahead with new eyes, and searching for hope in turbulent times. All the while, doing so with a new found sense strength, and with love and support by my side.
Some of the lyrics are “the ghost of my past, he’s just a lair, watch this spark turn to fire.” “caught in the eye of the storm, it won’t leave me alone,” while the chorus follows “take my hand. I’ll be here where you stand.”
