Iowa City was graced by the performance of electronic music producer and singer/songwriter James Blake on Saturday, November 16th at the Englert Theatre. The sold out show did not disappoint.

Every player that is dissected on national television is eventually discussed as a legacy, comparing his play to a relic of the past. Just like every team that has success is associated with another’s lasting triumph. Nobody can just be, there always has to be a standard to be examined against.
