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!

New Promo Reel for BlairOutLoud DUO!
The BlairOutLoud DUO, namely Tom and Amanda Blair, present their latest Promotional Reel, recently shot at Center Street Tavern in Acworth, GA. Here is a number of clips from the performance with some insight on what the DUO offers, and invites you to book an event!
Hello all!
I hope you are getting a good start to your new year. We are off to the races.. lots of great shows and special appearances are being added to the calendar weekly! Check back often at the bottom on the HOME page, or click EVENTS for a list of events announced so far.
BTW: You can also follow BlairOutLoud on BandsInTown if you would like. I make announcements from that platform occasionally, and I certainly work to keep shows updated there as well.
Today I’m excited to share with you a new Promo Reel that I created this week for the BlairOutLoud DUO. The DUO consists of Tom Blair on guitar and vocals, and Amanda Blair on keys, flute, percussion, and vocals. Together we cover much of the same material that I cover in my SOLO act, but we also expand our repertoire to include both male and female vocal lead tunes, and songs that feature more synth, piano, flute, and other sounds beyond a solo acoustic vibe.
Here is the newest Promo Reel; these clips were captured at a recent event held at Center Street Tavern in Acworth, GA on January 20, 2024. We had a fantastic evening with a great energy from the crowd, and were able to translate that in this montage here. Enjoy!
BOL Vid Update with guest Amanda Blair!
BOL Vid Update with Amanda Hill Blair! Wait.. does Amanda play guitar too? We also reflect on some fun recent DUO gigs, and discuss this week's events!
How was your weekend?
Amanda and I had two fantastic DUO shows at Center Street Tavern and Los Magueys in West Marietta! We are very thankful for everyone that came out to support us. Both nights we saw a host of people that we haven’t seen in some time.. so it was great to connect with family and friends.. and fans. THANK YOU!
Enjoy this week’s update.. Amanda picked up the guitar and started picking out some Bob Marley.. I forgot that she knew that riff on guitar!
Check below the video for events for this week that we are excited about.

Finishing out a fantastic month!
Happy Halloween! We are finishing out a fantastic month! Here’s a look back at some of the action captured at the various events we got ourselves into this past month. Rock-tober was a fun one! THANKS ALL!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.. GREETINGS from all of us at BlairOutLoud!!
BlairOutLoud would like to say THANK YOU to all the venues, private parties, fans, and friends that have made October 2022 one of the best months of the year for us!
October feels like the last big push for all the “stuff” that you wanted to accomplish in ‘22… Not that we don’t have some great stuff still to come in November or December! But it feels like you wake up on Nov 1, and the world starts spinning so fast that you really just have to hold on to something, and ride out the storm until January 1. Do you ever feel like that? The holidays are a mess and I just smile and take it..LOL.
However, this is a solid time in the next few weeks to be planning and prepping for ‘23! We are already contracting, and confirming some interesting events for next year, and the BAND has been brainstorming lots of new material to debut next year for the fans. Should be a killer year! More on all of that in future posts!
For now.. here’s a look back at OCT 2022. What a month! Again.. THANKS TO ALL for the support! Here’s to the Holidays and on to a strong and bright 2023!

Happy Fall Ya'll
Happy Fall from BlairOutLoud. Lots of great events recently with BlairOutLoud DUO and TRIO! Wanted to say thanks to all involved and all the fans that supported our efforts. Lots more fun stuff to come, and new ‘22 dates will be added soon! Here are a few galleries from some October Events that I wanted to share! Thanks!
Fall Greetings from BlairOutLoud!
Hope you are yours are having a fantastic season!
Sports fans are ecstatic about the Braves winning the World Series. Vaccines and other measures are fighting back covid exposure. The weather has been rather nice lately around Atlanta… honestly it’s hard to not be happy about the fall and where we are here currently in 2021!
I just wanted to give a little gratitude today for all the great support our friends and fans have given us at all our recent special events! I highlight a few below and have a few pics to share. Enjoy!
Before I sign off.. Check the calendar at the bottom of the Home Page for lots of upcoming events to end out the year! Soon enough, I’ll be adding some 2022 dates.. so stay tuned!
Thanks all

Tom and Amanda Blair, the BlairOutLoud DUO performing back on October 23rd at the Que & Brew Event, a fundraiser for LiveSave Resources.
- The weather was great (actually a little hot during the middle of the day). There were breweries and bbq companies there competing and serving up their best. There were 3 musical groups and we took the middle slot to entertain the crowd. I had participated in this event in 2019, and was asked back in 2020. After a postponement to 2021 and a location change, this was an amazing event and we really appreciate our chance to participate!
BlairOutLoud TRIO recently performed a killer Halloween Event in Franklin, GA on October 30th. Our friend Kevin Williams, who has been a seriously awesome supporter of BlairOutLoud all year long, invited the TRIO to jam for his massively huge Halloween Party! Other acts included the band Sunset Strip and a few other acoustic late night performers. It was an amazing event, and we were very happy to be a part of it.
- Tom Carling (bass player) had the idea for us to wear Star Trek shirts.. so here we are wearing the colors doing our thing.
