Vocalist, Lead Guitar, Keyboard, DJ, Electronic Music.ABOUT
In 2006, singer/guitarist John Norwood founded Upstate Escape in Ithaca, NY, mixing a unique blend of rock, jazz, and tongue-in-cheek humor. After three years of playing in the local circuits, the band relocated to the heart of New York City generating buzz in the local NY music scene.
Following the disbanding of Upstate Escape in 2014, Norwood created Blanker as an open-ended outlet to continue putting music out into the world.
Blanker has no label, no prescribed genre, and no profit mechanism. Everything is (and will always be) made free to the public.
While Blanker released its debut album, What A View, in October 2017 as a solo project by Norwood, the ultimate goal for the project is for it to become a collective of musicians/artists across genres that collaborate to create music and art that they care about.
