A Skylit Drive: The Original Lineup presents: The Jordan Blake Memorial Concert
Jordan Blake passed away on May 1st, 2023. Jordan was a trail blazer and legend in the scene. From various projects like A Skylit Drive, Watchout! There's Ghosts, Trances, etc. he was constantly looking for avenues to create music in. His passing sent shockwaves through our hearts, and he will never be forgotten.
The Jordan Blake Memorial Concert would be announced shortly after, which featured long-time friend of Jordan's, Jonny Craig, on vocals. Once tickets went on sale, they sold out within two days. Right then and there, I realized that I had to film the entire show for Jordan's close loved ones, and fans to see. Whether it's for those who could not attend, or those who wanted to relive these memories.
The project was very much a collaborative effort, and it wouldn't have happened if I didn't have the support that I did. On that note, I want to personally thank Ayesha Fernandez for filming the show, as well as Omar Garcia for lending his footage to be used for The All-Star Diaries, Hey Nightmare, and According to Columbus. I also want to thank Red Woods for dedicating his time and resources to conceive a piano rendition of "The Past, The Love, The Memory." I want to thank the boys of the ONE AND ONLY, genuine A Skylit Drive; Nick, Joey, Brian, and Cory for giving me the opportunity to film and release this show.
I hope you all enjoy it, and that it honors Jordan in the best way possible. Thank you all so much, see you soon.
REST IN PEACE. JORDAN BLAKE STRIBLING.
1986 - 2023.
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS.
