Among his friends, Blaze is best know for his shenanigans. For those who ever performed with him or have discovered him on recommendation of others, he is known for his astute songwriting skills and Merle Travis picking style. Blaze was born into a family of gospel singers, a trio of angelic voices who shared their talents at home with their friends and congregations in churches and revivals. No doubt his upbringing was an early influence on his beautiful, baritone voice.
