Receiving a degree in violin performance from the Peabody Institute of Music was not easy, says Baltimore singer/songwriter Cameron Blake, who suffered an extreme case of conservatory burnout half-way through his first semester of graduate school. However, it led him to discover his gift as a songwriting where he found freedom in developing an artistic technique of expression rather than note-perfection. Influenced by Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Nina Simone, mewithoutYou and The National, Camerons music is a healthy blend of folk, classical, and indie rock. Camerons often Irish sounding voice and powerful performances are straight-up charisma, while his classical music training is most evident in his rich and varied instrumental arrangements. Like Bob Dylan and Derek Webb, Camerons songs are full of storytelling, politics, and spirituality and represent an artist who truly has something to say. His new album Over and Over will be released in July 2008.
