Blake Bennett Classic Rock Battles - the Limey and the Yank

Steve "the Limey" Atkins was born and raised in Manchester, England and hails from Florida, where he met Blake "the Yank" Bennett. Steve is a master stylist with experience in haircare. Blake was born in Texas, lived a lot of places, and is a tech nerd and voice actor with a home studio.

The two share a love of music and mental encyclopedias that overlap quite nicely, allowing them with each episode to pull out songs from both sides of the big pond and mock-argue about whose music is better.

The show is audio-only, with occasional live streams to Facebook or short promo fun bits on YouTube. They work for their shared venture The Limey and the Yank LLC, which produces the show.

As we wrap up our look at the famous musicans whose parents were also famous musicians, we can't help but think about how delightful it must be to grow up with musical talent and encouragement and yet how hard it also must be to step out of mom or dad's shadow and do things your own way. We celebrate these hard-working entertainers for all their efforts to bring better music to the world.

It's a huge industry, and as they say, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' Some amazing talent came from learning beside mom or dad, and we love being able to share that with you.
