Fall Greetings from the BlairOutLoud camp!

So..

it has been a minute since I posted here. I had big plans to keep this blog updated moving into Spring, and you can look back and see some evidence of that, but summer busy-ness and our day to day personal and performance schedules just took off. It’s about all I could do to just keep up the calendar of events updated.

But I personally have been working to redo my own daily goals and after shifting some priorities around, I’m going to try and post here on Mondays, every Monday if I can, a quick little review of my weekend. I feel like I promote my events as much possible, then I perform, and then just start promoting something else and move on. Sometimes I don’t take the time to look back and reflect on what was great, what was bad, what I could have done better or what I should maintain in the future… It’s a healthy part of the overall plan, and I don’t want to ignore it anymore.

So…

Let’s talk about the weekend!

Friday night October 7th, BlairOutLoud BAND played at Rosati’s in Cumming, GA. We pulled out all the stops.. lined up a killer two-hour solid set. We were having so much fun, the two hours came quick for me, and my bass player Tom Carling was chatting in my ear.. “hey this is last song” and I was surprised.

Amanda Blair plays keys, flute, keytar and takes some lead vocals as well!

Amanda Blair blew everyone away (like she always does) on the flute when we played tunes like “Can’t You See”, “ROCK In The USA”, and “Baker Street”. We do a “Foo’s”cover version of Baker Street and instead of saxophone, Amanda plays the flute to “sing” out the main melody in the instrumental theme of the song before each verse.

This show was a blast.. a little low on attendance. The folks that were there tipped us well (Thank you Cumming), and sang along and cheered after each tune. We love playing at Rosati’s and I hope that the ownership with give us some more fun dates in ‘23 to do it again!

On Saturday, October 8th, BlairOutLoud BAND was invited to perform at an MS Society Biking Fundraiser Event on in LaGrange, GA at the Wild Leap Brewing Company. The weather was amazing, and we performed on a huge amphitheater stage. We had a good time rocking for all those in attendance. Shout out to Crestpointe Entertainment Group for getting us this opportunity.

The MS Society sponsored a Bike ride fundraiser and Wild Leap Brewing Company hosted the event. (This picture was taken when many people in attendance had walked back up to the main road to greet the last of the final biking participants who were just arriving.)

That evening, the BlairOutLoud TRIO headed back to Marietta, GA to perform on the backside of Johnnie MacCrackens (called The Crack Outback) just off the Marietta Square. This was an insane night.. there were soo many people there rockin’ out with us. We’d like to give a quick shout to our buddy Will Daniel for filling in on drums. It was a total riot.

Friend Nick Jijon sent me this shot from video that he got from the show!
