“He once again confirms why he is one of the most distinguished technicians on the Warr.”
BIOGRAPHY
Labeled as “one of the most distinguished technicians on the Warr” and “a master of his craft,” Jason Blake is a Warr guitarist from Chicago. The Warr guitar is a twelve-string instrument incorporating the range of a guitar and bass. It is played by tapping the strings, a technique known as touchstyle guitar. Blake plays with his band, Aziola Cry, a progressive rock trio consisting of Warr guitar, guitar, and drums. Their latest album, The Ironic Divide was released in 2021 on Sensory Records and was named “Instrumental Progressive Metal Album of the Year” by Sonic Perspectives. As a solo artist, Blake releases progressive music on Trey Gunn’s (King Crimson) 7d Media label. His most recent release, A Confusion Sequence, has been called, “a collection that further cements his reputation as one of modern progressive music’s most innovative voices.” As an expressive solo project, Blake explores dynamic instrumental pieces on the Warr Guitar fusing progressive structures, advanced harmony, and raw musical storytelling into a sound that is intricate, emotive, and completely unique. He has taken his “one man band” on the road having performed at many different venues across the Midwest and warmed up for artists such as Alex Skolnick Trio and the Aristocrats.
