Yarn gives listeners a taste of what to expect on their expansive new album with their new single, “Good Things,” out today on all streaming services alongside an accompanying video. The track marks the first single from their upcoming album Saturday Night Sermon, due April 24 via 333 Entertainment.
The album lives up to its name, with frontman Blake Christiana and the band expanding their already rich sound by adding a horn section, organ, and a gospel choir—inviting listeners to join in and delivering the kind of truth-telling, soul-shaking songwriting that can turn a simple night out into something spiritual.
With this new musical chapter, Yarn is ready to testify, ramping up their ever-evolving sound with layered textures that bring warmth and depth to the recordings, all delivered with the ease and confidence of seasoned players.
Frontman and songwriter Blake Christiana explains:
“‘Good Things’ is all about gratitude. Ray Wylie Hubbard always says, ‘When your gratitude exceeds your expectations, that is a good day.’ With that in mind, I threw away all my negative thoughts and self-pity and wrote this song because the truth is, our life is only as good as our reaction to it. And Yarn is pretty damn blessed with a whole lot of ‘Good Things.’”

Glide Magazine notes, “Since forming Yarn in 2007, Christiana has steered the band from a scrappy New York City bar residency to sharing stages with Dwight Yoakam, Marty Stuart, Alison Krauss, and Leftover Salmon. Drummer Robert Bonhomme and bassist Rick Bugel have remained Yarn’s core alongside Blake Christiana as the group has evolved through more than 10 albums and 17 years on the road.”
It’s fitting that much of the new video was filmed in a barroom, as the music blends bluesy, boozy rock ’n’ roll swagger with outlaw country and Memphis soul.
Saturday Night Sermon unfolds as a full listening experience, kicking off with the soaring title track—a guitar- and gospel-choir-filled introduction that sets an uplifting tone for the journey ahead. Fans will recognize the narrative lyricism that has long defined the band, from the singalong encouragement of “Let The Universe” to the heartfelt ballad “Where We Land.”
The album navigates gratitude, love, and the human condition, culminating in the reflective and comforting “A Welcome New Home,” while rock-leaning tracks like “Longshot,” “Might As Well Be King,” and “Never Enough” add grit and contrast.
“The band has officially found something really special over the past couple of years,” Christiana says. “It feels like we are finally the live band and album-producing band we always set out to be, and the message we’re aiming to deliver has also found its foothold.”
