Blair

Crisp, clean guitar riffs, driving drums, and keyboard synths that echo all the sexiest bits of the 80s; this is Blair, the modern rock star. Fusing together sounds from eras past, present, and future, Blair creates infectious rock n’ roll that strives for authenticity and staying power, moving your body as much as your mind. Truth in every melody, and life in every chorus – you can’t help but catch the musical vibes of Blair.

Blair is not a savior. He’s not trying to be the face of a genre, or a poster boy for your favorite scene. What he is can be found in his music – and his music kicks ass. With a single slated for release on label behemoth Atlantic Records and an album on the way, it won’t be long before Blair’s sound waves are everywhere.

At the core of Blair is an electrifying live show. A four piece band front manned by Blair himself backed by three mesmerizing ladies on the drums, bass, and synths. Together, they’re aiming to put live shows back where they belong: at the forefront of our musical world. “I’m trying to bring live music back to kids who haven’t seen a guitar in ten years,” says Blair, his gorgeous white Telecaster sitting in his lap as proof. “The technical aspect of my live shows – it’s totally one of a kind, very complex. We’re really trying to push the boundaries of what can be done with a live show. And I think people will really respond to that.”

Blair’s vision runs through every last inch of his music. No one-trick pony, he writes, arranges, and mixes every second of each song. Complete control over the finished product is essential for sharing the Blair vibe – part rock star, part guy-next-door, all rollicking musical energy. There’s an honesty that seeps through Blair’s music, a feeling that draws you in; the songs become your own. “I’m trying to make real songs that last a real long time,” he explains. Something authentic. Something that you’ll play for tonight’s party, tomorrow’s road trip, and the reunions a decade from now. Most of all, something that reaches a whole new level of brilliance when you watch Blair perform, and the music comes to life.

For Blair, the path is a clear. “One often gets asked: ‘What do you love?’ It’s simple. I love rock and roll. It’s fucking true.” This is Blair: truth, love, and rock n’ roll.
