Twenty-four-year-old James Blake is a classically trained pianist who has quickly ascended to become a leading figure in the dubstep electronic dance music community. His unique creative output blends soul influences, gospel harmonies, and folk traditions with deep, club-like, heavy bass. Blake’s self-titled debut LP, James Blake, was awarded “Best New Music” and was ranked as the 12th best album of 2011 on Pitchfork Media’s year-end list. For his UMS performance at Michigan Theater, Blake will perform music from his critically acclaimed 2013 album Overgrown.
