Hello Broad-WHAT? fans, and thank you for joining us here for another amazing episode! This time we are traveling away from the lower mainland and off to the Big Apple itself with the lovely and incredibly (and I do mean incredibly) talented Blake Allen.

Blake is a composer and musician operating out of New York City, though he grew up in El Paso, Texas which he candidly refers to as “the Winnipeg of the south.” He’s been in the big city for over a decade now, and might I say, he’s killing it!
