Brian Blade (born July 25, 1970 in Shreveport, Louisiana) is an American jazz drummer, composer, session musician, and singer-songwriter.
Blade was born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana. The first music he experienced was gospel and songs of praise at the Zion Baptist Church where his father, Brady L. Blade, Sr., has been the pastor for fifty-two years. In elementary school, music appreciation classes were an important part of his development and at age nine, he began playing the violin. Inspired by his older brother, Brady Blade, Jr., who had been the drummer at Zion Baptist Church, Brian shifted his focus to the drums throughout middle and high school.
During high school, while studying with Dorsey Summerfield, Jr., Blade began listening to the music of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Elvin Jones, and Joni Mitchell. By the age of eighteen, Brian moved to New Orleans to attend Loyola University. From 1988 through 1993, he studied and played with most of the master musicians living in New Orleans, including John Vidacovich, Ellis Marsalis, Steve Masakowski, Bill Huntington, Mike Pellera, John Mahoney, George French, Germaine Bazzle, David Lee, Jr., Alvin Red Tyler, Tony Dagradi and Harold Battiste.
Another night, night, night under glimmering lights,
And the radio is all I can hear.
We're gonna drive, drive, drive to a different town,
While you're waving in the rearview mirror.
I gotta keep on moving,
keep on moving down this road.
Whoa
Cause we're crossing over state lines,
And we're making up for lost time.
Yeah, it's feeling like a free fall now,
Nobody's gonna slow us down.
Another call, call, call across the country tonight,
And your voice is like a song in my ears.
So keep a light, light, light on me,
Don't say goodnight cause we'll be gone before the
morning is here.
We gotta keep on moving,
keep on moving down this road.
Whoa
Cause we're crossing over state lines,
And we're making up for lost time.
Oh, it's feeling like a free fall now,
Nobody's gonna slow us down.
Nobody's gonna slow us down.
Oh, oh, it's tearing your heart out,
But, baby, you gotta be free.
Oh, oh, it's tearing your heart out,
But, baby, just try to believe in you and me.
Oh, we're crossing over state lines,
And we're making up for lost time.
Yeah, it's feeling like a free fall now,
Nobody's gonna slow us down.
Oh, we're crossing over state lines,
And we're making up for lost time.
Yeah, it's feeling like a free fall now,
Nobody's gonna slow us down.
And, honey, nothing's gonna stop us now,
