b'
In this podcast chat with Singer songwriter Blake Dantier we have a good laugh and chat about country music, the music industry, being an independent artist, his musical experience and journey with releasing music as an artist even though his true passion sits in songwriting of all genres. Engaged to previous podcast guest Cass Hopetoun, Rae Leigh and Blake have a fun catch up and get the story from the other side.
\\nIf Alan Jackson knocked back a cold one with Chris Stapleton you might get a taste for what Blake Dantier is about...
\\nThe Blue Mountains based songwriter cleverly blends his love of traditional country with today\\u2019s contemporary and alternative sounds. His honest and quirky approach to song writing struck a chord with country radio in 2020; his two singles \\u2013 \\u201cAsh & Dust\\u201d and \\u201cI\\u2019d Do It Again\\u201d \\u2013 both spending 9 weeks on the Music Network\\u2019s national airplay chart.
\\nIf you\\u2019re wondering where on earth this guy came from, let\\u2019s go back to Jamison Private Hospital in \\u201994\\u2026 ok maybe not that far\\u2026 Blake\\u2019s music career began in his teens. He fronted various high school bands who played the odd pub gig here and there, before moving on to study audio at uni. It was around this time his eyes were opened to the vast world of country music. He formed the imaginatively named, \\u201cBlake Dantier Band\\u201d, and played around Sydney for a few years, while constantly immersing himself in Country\\u2019s rich history. A few talent comps and awards later, he decided to take the plunge and release his music independently.
