Blake Shester is a Southern California native whose love of playing the banjo inspired him to uproot and move to Nashville after graduating from UC Davis with a degree in Biology. He and his family moved to Lexington from Tennessee in 2011 to work at W&L where his wife is a professor and he works in IT.

Blake can be seen around campus and town performing with several bluegrass groups: The Datz Us Ramblers, and the Rockbridge Bluegrass Allstars. In addition to music, Blake enjoys running daily, spending time outdoors, and being a member of the Lexington community.
