TaughtMe


Blake Henderson is a creative force that has released three albums as TaughtMe.  The D Man grew up on the same street as Blake, who used to rip up junior high talent assemblies as he was the only guy in school who could actually shred and sing at the same time.  The D Man also remembers driving Blake down to Boothe Brothers Music on Main Street to check out guitars. We went to McDonald's afterward.  Even then, I knew Blake was much cooler than me. 

The D Man placed several of TaughtMe's records in music stores along High Street in Columbus while attending law school, believing people should listen. (Check out an early favorite "More").  The D Man has followed Blake closely over the years as TaughtMe has had great success touring and making records.  Last summer, TaughtMe even opened for Low, a dream come true for Blake as the long-time indie-staples have been a personal muse.

Enjoy a recent podcast from Chasing the Moon.  Stay tuned for Blake's interview that follows and then read up and buy some music here.
