Blake’s search for collaborators led him to Kevin Williams, Ron Pacheco, and Brock Papinau. Together, they formed Ogma — named after the Celtic god of art and music. Combining virtuosic musicianship with dynamic songwriting, the group became a fixture across Rhode Island and Massachusetts for over two years. Their debut, OGMA – I, was released on Statue Records in 2004 before each member pursued new directions.

In 2004, Blake relocated to Tucson, Arizona. After a year away from writing, he began recording The Road to Avalon with guitarist Robert Lopez. When that project was delayed, he shifted focus to Dream Things True — a 12-song album released in 2010 under The Minstrel’s Ghost on Melodic Revolution Records.

That same creative period led to international collaboration. Partnering with Zoltan Csörsz Jr., Colin Tench, Troy James Martin, and Marco Chiappini, Blake completed The Road to Avalon — a sweeping concept album inspired by Arthurian legend — released on December 24, 2012, to global acclaim.

Blake’s distinctive voice and lyricism also featured on multiple projects, including Corvus Stone, Coalition’s Bridge Across Time, Petri Lindström’s Hail to Sabbath, and Jack Potter’s Before the Fall.

During this era, he launched Voice of the Enslaved, an enigmatic side project combining melodic rock with lyrics that challenged corporate and political corruption.

Building on Avalon’s success, Blake began conceptualizing a new story-driven album that would become Jack: A Different Tale. Assembling a full band — Troy James Martin (bass), Mike Troupe (drums), Doug Floyd and later Steve Centuori (guitars), and Uma DeSilva (keyboards) — The Minstrel’s Ghost evolved into a live act. Despite strong rehearsals and shows, lineup changes and Blake’s move to Alabama paused the project’s momentum, but the vision endured.

In northern Alabama, Blake took time to recharge, eventually finishing Jack: A Different Tale and releasing it digitally on April 5, 2019 — a fitting close to The Minstrel’s Ghost chapter.

After years immersed in progressive rock, he found himself drawn back to the textures of his youth — the synths, drum machines, and ethereal guitars of the 1980s. His music during this time embraces that aesthetic, balancing nostalgia with emotional honesty and modern edge.

After many years in the prog-rock scene, Blake revisited a style of music that He grew up with, stuff from the ’80s. He loves synths, drum machines, and airy sounding guitars with melodic vocals and harmonies. The new music he is producing will undoubtedly remind many of those wonderful days of experimental music that was an instant pop success. If you like the music of the 80’s please have a listen you will love what Blake has to offer!

Blake’s move to South Georgia marked the start of a new era. Surrounded by open landscapes and quiet inspiration, his sound evolved once again — airy, reflective, sometimes dark, but always cinematic. Blending singer-songwriter storytelling with modern rock and ambient influences, his current work captures both vulnerability and strength, light and shadow.

No longer confined by genre, Blake continues to create music that’s heartfelt and timeless — soundscapes that move beyond words and invite listeners to feel again. Airy. Honest. Unafraid to wander where the heart leads.
