BLAIR

BLAIR is a National Poetry Slam Champion. He's been nominated for 7 Detroit Music Awards, including a 2007 nod for Outstanding Acoustic Artist. He's been named Real Detroit Weekly Readers Poll's Best Solo Artist and The Metro Times Best Urban Folk Poet.

Urban folk, afro-punk, singer-songwriter, poetry slammer, gay activist, Blair is our kinda dude... the kind of ambitious versatility we like.

- Metromode

A very common theme in Blair's work is the notion of the poet turning the table within the work onto the readers/listeners. A circular sort of - the narrator is the poet, who is me, who is you, who is the poet pattern. I picked up two of Blair's CD's afterwards and haven't stopped listening to them since.

TONE & NICHE

Tone and Niche’s eclectic mix of violin-led pop/rock and singer/songwriter styles stems from the influence of performers like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Radiohead, Andrew Bird, Elliott Smith and others. They frequently perform in Nashville, Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Ann Arbor and have become a driving force in the Detroit music scene.

"These days in Detroit music, it seems like you can't drunkenly stumble through one smoke-clogged bar without getting smacked in the face by a violin..."

- Megan O'Neil, Metro Time

"...Think Revolver-era Beatles, Andrew Bird's string-laden neo-folk-pop and the heartache-poetics of Elliot Smith"

- J. Milo, Deep Cutz/Real Detroit Weekly
