MOMENTUM BUILDING!! FEB '21 Bring it!
Hello gang, it’s Monday morning Feb 8, 2021, and I’m just super grateful for how fantastic all my shows were last week, and I can’t help but feel that ‘21 is gearing up to be a great year!
ALL THREE SHOWS were spectacular last week. People are out and about, bringing their friends and families, most are being careful about how they interact keeping things respectful and safe, and the vibe was celebratory and fun!
I performed at Los Magueys Mexican Restaurant on Thursday Feb 4th to a full house! I had the place singing and cutting up. The tips were AWESOME and I can’t thank you enough for that support!
I try to capture a song or two on my camera at each event if I can. Although the Eagles cover that I captured from this show is a little tame on the excitement level (it was earlier in the evening as well), make no mistake, Los Magueys got pumped up about 8:30! Great crowd and super fun! BTW, I’ll be performing this Thursday 2-11-21 at the Dallas location Los Magueys!
Here’s the video that I captured from early in the evening (basically getting everyone warmed up LOL):
BTW.. SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!
I’m making a solid PUSH TO 1000 SUBS! Thank you!
Friday the 5th, I found my way back down to one of my favorite breweries: Hixtown Brewing Company in Villa Rica. The patrons at Hixtown are always so supportive! I saw lots of familiar faces and people that told me they were excited about seeing me back at Hixtown and that is awesome!
Also, I think Hixtown has a good number of country-ish artists that perform there, so my friends and fans down that way are very welcoming of a good rock and roll night.
I wish that I had the camera powered-up for this event, but unfortunately I didn’t capture any of the action. But I did manage to snap a pic of the curbside promo that Hixtown displayed for the event.
Hixtown, thanks for doing this!
There are many places that will put something about “Live Music” or they will just write “Tom Blair” on the sign if it’s my acoustic solo show. But drawing out “BlairOutLoud” to help me promote the brand.. WAY COOL and I really appreciate it!

I love playing this location, and btw, if you haven’t seen my 2020 Promo Reel CLICK HERE, you should check it out. My June 2020 show at Hixtown was so amazing that I stitched several amazing “sing-along” moments together and uploaded the whole thing as a promo for BlairOutLoud!
Saturday the 6th WAS EPIC! I usually perform at SoFo Modern Cuisine in Suwanee, GA about one Thursday a month. But every now and then I’ll get a Saturday out there. I believe my next event is a Thursday, but my May event there is a Saturday again. Always check my EVENTS for the latest!
Well… it started slower because around 5:30 that afternoon it was snowing and sleeting. I thought that it might be a rough night because people would be afraid to get out and about. However, at around 8pm, I noticed that the temperature rose a few degrees, and the sleet and snow was holding off. This was truly a gift because slowly but surely the party crowd made it on out, and WE THREW DOWN from about 10 to 11:30 it was LIT for sure!
I wish I had a camera rolling right around 11pm.. everyone on their feet.. I was stringing danceable tunes one after the next.. it was a blast! THANK YOU SOFO for such a fun evening and if you have pics or video from that night, let me know in the comments, or just post to social media and tag @blairoutloud !!
Here’s a few more confirmations from last week:
I got a final confirm that I will have my “every other” Tuesday gig at Brewsters continue well into 2021, maybe for the rest of the year!
Also.. an announcement is coming soon regarding a BlairOutLoud opportunity for St Patty’s Day! Although it won’t be a local show (sorry about that) it will be a fun experience, and a chance to push BlairOutLoud beyond the GA state line… stay tuned!
ONE MORE THING..
I don’t want to comment on the timeline of the following actions, only because it’s a fluid transition, and I need to strategize the best way to flip the overall switch.. SOBEIT..
Just to put some quick last minute news in your brain..
BLAIROUTLOUD ENTERTAINMENT will be the new name of my projects somewhere in the middle of 2021 moving forward!
I’m so excited to be finally be announcing this little bit of “inside baseball” if you will. LOL
LK3 remains the most fun, stress-free, potentially ever-expanding party band that I’ve ever been a part of, and in terms of the players involved, the material that we are working on weekly, etc, etc.. NOTHING drastic will be changing. (Except now when we add Amanda Blair into the mix, we don’t have to explain “Trio” in the name.. HA.
We are contracting private parties, club gigs, wedding events, and SO MUCH MORE as we speak.. CONTACT ME FOR DATES AND RATES!
HOWEVER.. the Leonard Koggins Trio name (as well as LK3 Acoustic or LK3+) will soon be phased out, and all line-ups: Solo, Duo, Trio’s, full band.. blah, blah, will all be headed for a re-brand under the title of BlairOutLoud Entertainment!
More details to come as we get into this promising year of 2021!
For now I’ll leave you with a HUGE ROCK AND ROLL THANK YOU!
Thanks for all the recent support as well as sticking with me through all the rougher patches that 2020 brought us. BlairOutLoud is building some serious momentum here, and I’m glad you are a part of the success and most importantly.. the fun!
Thanks!!
-Tom Blair
