Singer-songwriter Blake Dagley is starting to make waves of his own.
Blake’s recent release (The Nashville Sessions: released December 3rd, 2021) has garnered rave reviews and over 100,000 streams across major streaming platforms.
This little know artist is beginning to turn heads with what appears to be a unique and signature sound. To place Blake’s music in one genre would be unfair as he pulls from his roots and the influence of rock, country, folk, and blues.
Blake’s recognizable yet relatable voice pulls this listener in and gives them space to follow him on his musical journey. As a songwriter, Blake writes with a purpose. Blake’s songs are musical journeys with depth and complexity. At times Blake paints with broad strokes, and at other times he paints a picture so bright and detailed that you can’t help but feel as though you are in the song with him.
Blake is inviting you into his musical journey, and he looks forward to you jumping aboard the ship with him.
Ain’t Going Down Like This is a song written to my anxiety and insecurities. After the invitation to come to Nashville, my anxiety came creeping in, and I began to doubt the reality of the moment. I sat down on my back porch (which is my happy place) and began to write a song in response to the doubts and fears that I was feeling.
Paradox was written during a time of transition for me. I found myself “stuck between a rock and a hard place.” Paradox is ultimately a song about choices. It’s a song about finding yourself at a fork in the road and knowing that you will be letting someone down no matter the path you choose.
Milly is a song about a small-town girl who moves to the city and about a small-town boy who just wants her to come home. I wrote Milly when I was on vacation, and it is loosely based on the stories of several people.
“"It is important that you realize your strongest suit. Blake has a semi-husky warm voice that is inviting yet invigorating."” - Nishant Varma
“With 5 releases, including full-length studio projects and singles, Blake mixes soulful, Americana-style lyrics with catchy folk-rock grooves, tones, and textures for the enjoyment of a wide fan base. His music weaves melodic and memorable instrumentation with a poetic vocal delivery that draws the listener into the songs as though they are actually a part of the musical story. Listening to Blake's music takes me to pleasant times and comfortable places in my memories! ” - Tim Crispin | Stage Volume Entertainment
