TWO WEEKS AWAY!!
Jeremy Would Let Me Drown debuts at 37 Main on Friday 11/29.. and Jeremy Unplugged at Wing & Tap House on 12/6!
Hello friends and fans.. my band Jeremy Would Let Me Drown has an event coming in TWO WEEKS (from today’s post), where we are debuting our show at 37 Main in Buford, GA! 11/29 come see what this band is all about!
The absolute best hits and b-sides from some of the most iconic bands in the early 90’s grunge scene: Pearl Jam (Jeremy), Alice In Chains (Would), and Soundgarden (Let Me Drown), hence the name of the band!
I was asked to join JWLMD in 2023. I came in as the co-lead singer and guitar player. This role is challenging and very rewarding, and I’ve been promoting the band right here on BlairOutLoud, because I feel like those that enjoy what I do will also enjoy this new project.
As we’ve been ramping up in 2024, it looks like 2025 will be a landmark year for the band. Before we get there, we are ending this year with two very special events.. one being our 37 Main show on 11/29, and then we are doing an all “Unplugged” night at Wing Cafe & Tap House on 12/6. Flyers below are clickable and will take you to the FB Events for more info!
Tickets for the 37 Main event are $10 General Admission, but you can reserve tables starting at $49! Visit this ticket link site here:
https://www.37main.com/90s/grunge/
Free admission for the Wing & Tap show, but tables go fast, so get there early!
ROCK-tober on it's way!
ROCK-tober is on its way; lots of great events with every line-up that Tom is involved in! The FULL calendar including weekly solo acoustic events are posted at the bottom of the HOME page, but here in this blog entry are some highlighted announcements that we would love for you to come check out. Have a great October Atlanta.. see you around town!
Friends and fans.. we’ve got a great month on the way!
BlairOutLoud SOLO, DUO, TRIO, BAND, and Jeremy Would Let Me Drown events all over the map! We are very much looking forward to the cooler weather, lower humidity, and fall festival events that this time of the year brings.
Below are some highlighted gigs that we are looking forward to (with DUO and up line-ups) check the bottom of the HOME page for the full schedule including various SOLO acoustic gigs happening every week!
(click the flyer to go to the event page for more info)
I would like to take a moment to thank all of you that have come to the shows, shared the events, and showed your support all year long. BlairOutLoud, this website and social media platforms, being foremost about promoting my personal events, is starting to expand to promote mine and Amanda’s events, even in other bands (that will be the next blog entry).
If you didn’t see the recent news, Amanda Blair has now joined Nü Wave ATL and will be performing various dates with them to finish out 2024, and several loading up for 2025! This past year, I have been very involved in Jeremy Would Let Me Drown and will be pushing harder than ever with that group moving into 2025 as well.
In order to accommodate new journeys with these bands and other original projects that we want to pursue.. we will be ramping down the TRIO and BAND events moving into next year, like.. down to zero. We will most likely reserve these line-ups for private events only, and you will see a harder push to promote SOLO and DUO gigs, as well as something new that’s brewing. Let’s just say.. for fans of heavy music.. our goal is to bring a metal band line-up into the BlairOutLoud Family. More on that soon!
Again.. thank you for all the support.. and let’s have a kicking ROCK-tober!

BlairOutLoud invited back to the Chili Cook-off!
Join me at Tipping Point Brewing Company in Blue Ridge, GA on Sunday October 6th for a fundraising event to support the North Georgia Legends Baseball Team. Every year the Legends organize a Chili Cook-off, and invite me to come provide some great acoustic rock to entertain the attendees! This is my third time back and I'm very excited!
Hello all..
My friends Pamela and Wes McClure are at it again this year, fundraising for the North Georgia Legends Baseball Team! This will be my third year invited back to perform for their Chili Cook-off competition, happening Sunday October 6th, 2024 in Blue Ridge, GA at Tipping Point Brewing Company starting at 3pm.
Here’s a pic from last year’s event with me posing with some of the team.
Details about this year’s event found below (click the flyers to expand):
Blue Ridge has several great restaurants and shops, stuff to do for the whole family. Right inside October it should be great weather, sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler, so come prepared! Good luck if you enter the competition, or maybe you’ll win the YETI cooler filled with lots of surprises.
I’ll be providing some great acoustic rock jams to set the soundtrack for the day. Would love to see you there!

Gate City is almost here!
Jeremy Would Let Me Drown is performing at Gate City Brewing THIS SATURDAY 9/7!
Hello BlairOutLoud friends and fans. I’ll be quick on this one.. I’m very excited to be performing at Gate City Brewing this Saturday, 9-7-24 with my band Jeremy Would Let Me Drown! It’s an outdoor event on their nice big stage in their courtyard area, in downtown Roswell, GA. The show starts at 8pm and the weather forecast looks fantastic for the event!
Many of you are aware that I took a co-lead vocalist/guitarist position in a new project last year about this time, and it’s me.. front and center.. so I feel like it’s something that I want to promote here on the BlairOutLoud website as one of my projects. In the future I’ll actually have a specific page dedicated to the JWLMD band and its events… so.. coming soon!
Here’s the flyer.. you can click it and it will take you to the FB event for directions and more info. If you are fans of Pearl Jam (Jeremy), Alice In Chains (Would?), and Soundgarden (Let Me Drown), you should definitely check us out. Thanks all!
BTW.. check out the new 2024 Promo for the band below the flyer!

Check it out: AMANDA BLAIR NEWS!
Announcement: Amanda Blair joins Nü Wave ATL! This is a new venture for her and she has been working so hard to join their team and create an amazing sound on keys and extra vocals. She will still be performing with BlairOutLoud DUO and BAND, but this is an exciting new adventure and we wish her the best!
Hello everyone! We have some exciting news!
Amanda Blair is now joining forces with Atlanta-based: Nü Wave ATL on keys and vocals!
The announcement came down yesterday online, but here at the ‘ol BlairOutLoud HQ, we’ve been hearing her learn and rehearse all of these fun 80s tunes in our studio for almost 2 weeks. She has been putting a huge effort into this, and preparing for their first show THIS SATURDAY, 8/31 at The Well in Cumming, GA at the Cumming City Center Complex.
BlairOutLoud will still have Amanda on keys, flute, and vocals for DUO and BAND events for public and private parties, but she is so excited for this next step, and we fully support her in this new effort!
Amanda is an enthusiastic player of Korg keyboards, specifically the Nautilus model. The 80s nu wave and alternative electronic material that Nü Wave ATL is covering utilizes a lot of programmed sounds and patches. You won’t believe your ears when you hear the sounds coming out of that machine, and just know that Amanda has taken the time to program and learn it all (with some help from patches bought online to be as authentic as possible).
Many bands run extra tracks to fill out the sound of these electronic based songs, and sometimes the audience can not distinguish what is being played in real-time or what has been pre-recorded and playing back during the performance. Many bands utilize both of these methods together, and Nü Wave will be doing a little of the same. But be assured, with Nü Wave ATL, most of the sounds you hear, and the performances that you will see, are being played in real-time, and once again you will feel that in the take that this band has on performing this material live!
Here’s to a fantastic future with this new venture for Amanda Blair! Thanks for reading all!

Last week of August 2024.. how was your summer?!
Shows this week include a BlairOutLoud TRIO event at Guston's in Acworth! There are several other great acoustic events on tap as we close out an awfully hot summer here in the ATL. Thanks for the support, and hopefully we see you out to an event this week, and we hope you have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend. Thanks all!
Well folks, it has been quite a year so far. Up until August, my personal year was flying by so fast, and it’s been hard to keep up with it all. August was a looong month though. Go look at a calendar, August this year has almost 5 full weeks! (Great for income if you are a monthly budget person btw).
On tap for this last week of August is a killer TRIO gig at Guston’s Grille in Acworth, GA on Friday the 30th. Guston’s recently renovated and put in a decent little stage and sound system! I played there for SOLO acoustic last week and the new PA sounds great.
On bass we have Jake Kitchen back to jam with Darren Goot and I for this gig. The three of us teamed up at the end of July for a bike night event and had a blast. Jake is a great bass player and down-to-earth cool dude, and I will have him jam in the Trio or Band any time I can get him.
I’ve got some great acoustic shows this week, including a visit back to Rome, GA at The Moon Roof Bar on Wednesday to get thing kicked off this week. Below are the shows this week before Labor Day on Monday.
Come see me this week, and have a great Labor Day weekend as we start to turn the page on this awfully hot summer, and welcome the Fall Events! More on that soon!
-Tom
Real quick: Let me mention an additional show that I’ll talk more about next week. My grunge project Jeremy Would Let Me Drown has an amazing event coming up on Sept 7th at Gate City Brewing in Roswell, GA.
3rd Annual Brewery Symposium at Wing & Tap!
BlairOutLoud TRIO will be performing for the 3rd Annual Brewery Symposium at Wing & Tap! What makes this particular date interesting.. is that Jeremy Would Let Me Drown is actually playing at the same venue later that evening! It’s a 2 for 1.. really a 2 for 0.. and we’d love for you to be there!
Hello all.. hope you are finding unique ways to stay cool on this ridiculously hot summer that we’ve had here in the ATL.
I’ve got TWO events on ONE particular day (at the same location!) that are going to be fun.. a bit of a challenge for me and the drummer.. but fun nonetheless and we’d love to see you there!
The Wing Cafe & Tap House in Marietta, GA is holding its 3rd Annual Brewery Symposium, as they’ve titled it. They are excited to host 4 specific Breweries in the area that have products that they will be debuting and discussing.
This event is on Saturday afternoon, August 17th, starting at 2pm. They will have a Q&A session with the brewers on stage (outside in the alley way of Wing & Tap), and then there will be music starting at 4pm…. featuring BlairOutLoud TRIO!
$1 per pint will go to benefit FIRST RESPONDERS via the Terry Farrell Firefighter’s Fund
Here’s our flyer.. click on it to take you to the FB Event for directions!
Now here’s where it gets interesting..
Jeremy Would Let Me Drown was already scheduled to play at Wing & Tap that evening 8-11 inside on the stage.
So.. Jeff Wheeler, the drummer for JWLMD, is playing drums in the BlairOutLoud TRIO sets (with Gary Stone on bass) outside 4-7 for the Brewery Symposium event. And then… Jeff and I will be moving our equipment inside to then perform a couple of JWLMD sets inside later that evening.
Basically.. if you come to this event.. you’re getting a TWO for ONE.. however both shows are FREE.. sooo, you are actually getting TWO great band events for free.. or the price of food and some brews! 🍻 Pretty great right?
BlairOutLoud TRIO will play a killer mix of classic rock, 80s hits, and 90s alternative that we think you’ll dig. And then later that evening, Jeremy Would Let Me Drown is bringing you the best of Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden to the stage!
It’s going to be a great day/night. We would love to see you there.
Thanks for reading this far!

Happy 4th of July!
Jeremy Would Let Me Drown is celebrating July 4th week on Saturday the 6th at Wing & Tap! Here’s a look at a few other highlighted events for July! Happy 4th everyone!
Hello everyone, thanks for tuning in for a second. I’ll be brief, but I did want to make sure to wish you and your loved ones a safe and fun 4th of July! I can’t believe that we are half way through 2024 already but time flies when you’re having fun! 🤘😎
THIS SATURDAY the Jeremy Would Let Me Drown project is doing its thing at Wing & Tap House in Marietta: Saturday July 6th at 8pm.
Most of you know of my involvement with this band, but in case it’s your first time and you came to see what’s going on with BlairOutLoud, I’m also the co-vocalist for this act that pays tribute to three iconic bands of the 90s: Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains. If you like those bands, you’ll love our jam-packed sets of radio hits as well as a few rarities. Come check it out this Saturday!
Now on to BlairOutLoud news:
We welcome Tom Carling back to the stage to jam with the TRIO on Friday July 19th at Guston’s in Acworth. Carling, Darren Goot, and I were the long-standing trio called Leonard Koggins Trio (I had originally joined as a later member of their project). In ‘21 we had changed everything over to the BlairOutLoud label, so LK3 named events ended at that time. Fast-forward to ‘23, after Carling had bowed out of BlairOutLoud to jam with some other groups, he occasionally still offers to fill in when the opportunity arises, so here we are! Come see this iconic TRIO do its thing July 19th!
BlairOutLoud DUO are debuting a new venue this month:
Friday July 26th, Amanda and I, the BOL DUO, will be making our debut at a venue just off the Marietta Square called Hamp and Harry’s!
BOL Update Week of 2024-05-13 - Shows and Announcements!

Hello all!
The BlairOutLoud BAND has an exciting show lined up for next week in Cumming at the City Center Complex at The Well! May 25th, come see us throw and seriously fun rock and roll party!
THIS FRIDAY.. Jeremy Would Let Me Drown is unplugging and bringing you an intimate acoustic set! We will be down a member due to family emergency, and we’ve decided instead of cancel the show, we could still have some fun and bring you some great music acoustically. We hope you will come and enjoy your evening!
All of this and a little more in the video here:

Hello ALL!
Recently I was testing out some streaming hardware and software and went LIVE on Facebook. https://fb.watch/qVD1rdScDq/
I appreciate everyone that came on and gave me some feedback and supported the stream. This year I am making an effort to shoot more video, and in the process, trying to learn a lot about the A/V gear that I own, and how to make stuff with it.
Today I decided to make something a tad more concise.. (I still played some of my favorite guitar riffs) and announce some great shows coming up. Here they are in list form with some more detail, and at the bottom here’s the new video that made today with these announcements. Enjoy!

Center Street will have food and drink specials, and we’ll be cranking up the music around 8:30! We’ve got quite a mix of classic rock anthems, 80s danceable rock hits, and 90s alternative jams that we love to play to keep the party rolling!
This year we have an extraordinary line-up of musicians: Our friend Chris Butler, a fantastic local musician, will be on bass. Of course we have the GOOT.. we call him the “Greatest Of Our Time”, Darren Goot on the drums. And last but not least, Amanda Blair.. bringing the keys, the flute, her vocal prowess, and as always.. the mean tambourine. HA!
As always, I’ll be on guitar and leading the band, and doing my best to keep the party rolling all night. We’d love to see you there.. GET THERE EARLY for a table if you plan to eat! Stay after to rock out with us and have a great night. See you Saturday!

JWLMD “Battle” Shows: Back in August we performed what we called a “Decade Battle” between an 80s band and our “90s” tribute. Each band played for 30 mins back and forth for several sets. It is a fun concept that we will be repeating at some of the coming shows listed above.
So that’s it for now.. other SOLO and DUO announcements coming soon, but this post was all about the BAND affairs! Thanks for reading.. Hope to see you at a show this fall!
Thank you Cresswind Community Peachtree City!
Thank you Cresswind Community Peachtree City! BlairOutLoud BAND had a great event last Saturday August 12th and we’d love to do it again!
BlairOutLoud BAND says THANK YOU!
Thank you Cresswind Peachtree City for the fantastic hospitality last Saturday, August 12th! BlairOutLoud BAND had a blast entertaining your community, and we are SO thankful that you let us set up inside the ballroom! As soon as we loaded-in, the clouds erupted and it rained and roared, so the show would have been rained out for sure, without the change of location. Plus, ya know.. A/C.. this heat has been brutal here in Georgia!
The band put together a fantastic set of classic 60s and 70s rock and 80s danceable tunes that we thought would be great for the occasion. By all means, it looked to us that everything went great, and everyone was smiling and having fun. If you’ll have us back, we’d love to do it again!
If you have pics and video from this event, if you post on social media will you tag BlairOutLoud on FB, Instagram, or Twitter? That would be great!
Let’s do it again! 🙌
BTW.. we are coming to Peachtree City again on September 16th, to perform at Grazing Here:
We would love to see you at this show! Click the flyer for more info on the event or if you are on FB here is the Event Link:
I have been asked to join a new group!
I have been asked, and I’ve accepted a position as guitarist and co-vocalist for the band “Jeremy Would Let Me Drown”! Here is some details about the band, and what that means for BlairOutLoud and beyond. My first event with the band is coming up on Saturday July 29th at Boot Barn Hall in Gainesville, GA!
HELLO 👋 friends and fans!
Tom Blair here, on a Monday morning, recovering from a killer run of gigs leading into the weekend, and I was able to end my busy week with a fantastic concert last night (One of my favorite bands, King’s X, performed at the Buckhead Theater in Atlanta 7/16/23). I was able to reconnect with lots of friends and acquaintances from the Atlanta music scene last night, and I feel rejuvenated and excited about what I’m revealing today!
Headline: As a guitarist, and co-vocalist, I will be officially joining the guys in the grunge tribute act: “Jeremy Would Let Me Drown”.
MY FIRST EVENT with this group will be held at a new venue in Gainesville, GA called Boot Barn Hall on Saturday, July 29th, 2023!

Bio: Jeremy Would Let Me Drown, call ‘em “Jeremy” for short, performs the hits and various deep cuts of specifically these three iconic grunge era powerhouse groups: Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains. The amount of amazing musical material between these three groups, evenly distributed throughout a Jeremy set, is enough to keep almost any 90’s music fan smiling and satisfied.
Imagine a band hitting the stage and breaking into the intensity and passion of a song like Pearl Jam’s “Evenflow”, and then within the next few minutes, jamming the groove of Soundgarden’s “Spoonman”… only to then follow it up with the serene harmonies of an Alice In Chains fan favorite like “Nutshell”.
This music will bring you back to a fantastic time in life, pre-social media, pre-music-computerization.. let’s face it.. the 90’s were just a great time to be alive and connected to music culture. Some of the best music on the planet ever.. was being recorded and released. Jeremy Would Let Me Drown brings you the best of these three bands, the “best of the best” if you will… Come share that experience and enjoy the show!
Upcoming Jeremy Events! (BTW: Coming soon, these will be listed on my calendar right here on the BlairOutLoud HOME page (and other platforms):
July 29th: Live at Boot Barn Hall, Gainesville, GA (Get your tickets now!)
Aug 4th: JWLMD live at The Wing & Tap House, Marietta, GA
Aug 19th: Decade battle with JWLMD vs Mad Margritt (80s vs 90s battle) at Dixie Tavern, Marietta, GA
Sept 22: JWLMD live at Southern Roots, McDonough, GA
So.. what does this mean for BlairOutLoud??
Honestly, this announcement today doesn’t change anything about where things are headed with the BlairOutLoud line-ups and upcoming events! BlairOutLoud was designed from the ground up to be cover entertainment in all forms, solo acoustic, duo, full band.. ready to perform for live shows, private events, parties, weddings, etc, etc. So check to see where we’ll be next (or HIRE US!), and come enjoy great live music! The Jeremy band will have several events spread out through the coming months, and they will be interspersed between my acoustic and full band events like normal.
So that’s a wrap! I hope you enjoyed this announcement today, and if you have events or opportunities coming in your world that you’d like to have me consider, CONTACT me for more info on any of the groups and/or availability, and let’s put an event together!
Thanks all!
-Tom Blair

Bringing you a healthy mix of classic rock, 80’s danceable, and 90’s alternative tunes to the stage.. the BlairOutLoud BAND is ready to rock the house Friday Night July 21st at 278 South in Hiram, GA!
We’ll have the one and only Darren Goot hitting the skins, and friend and long-time colleague Gary Stone on bass! Of course, Amanda Blair will be there on keys, keytar, flute, percussion, and rockin’ the female vocals. Spread the word and get out to Hiram July 21!!
AUGUST EVENT!
On Saturday August 12th, we will be performing for a Private Event in Peachtree City in the Cresswind Community of Homes! If you know people that live in the this community, can you let them know that we are coming??!.. It is harder to externally promote for this show.. because this community does not have its own FB Page that represents it.. only a Private Group that we wouldn’t be able to join. So.. once again, if you know of people that live in the Cresswind Community of Peachtree City, let them know that BlairOutLoud BAND is coming to rock at their pavilion Saturday August 12th! Thanks all!
SEPTEMBER EVENTS!
Sept 8th: BlairOutLoud TRIO returns to Guston’s Acworth!
Sept 16th: BlairOutLoud BAND finally returns to Grazing Here!
Sept 23rd: BlairOutLoud BAND pulls up to Rosati’s in Cumming!
All shows will be represented on the main Calendar on the HOME page soon, but we wanted to get the word out early!
