My Facebook Page is where I first started the BlairOutLoud brand. I love the tools and promotion that you have access to.. but lately, musicians are finding it harder and harder to promote their events. I’m NOT quitting FB, but in terms of posting Events.. yeah.. I’m about done with that..

We are transitioning our former name Leonard Koggins Trio or LK3 to BlairOutLoud (insert project name here). We have been talking for some time about bringing all the projects together under the “BlairOutLoud Entertainment Presents” label, and now some of the promo efforts are starting to emerge. This decision is being thought through in real-time and we’ve got a lot to do, but we appreciate your support while we change things up!

Many people are approaching me about private events! I’m excited to offer anything from solo acoustic to full band, and we would love to play your party! Book now for late Spring, Summer, and even Fall events… lets get them on the calendar! Here are some thoughts on these events, a look back to 2020 private events, and some answers to your questions regarding what I offer. Thanks.. Book TODAY!

I’m honored and so excited to be performing at Social Lounge GVL in downtown Greenville, SC for a Saint Patrick’s Day celebration Wednesday March 17th, 2021. I’ll be representing Crest Point Entertainment and the Atlanta music scene.. Join us!

I’m excited to announce that my Lessons Page is published on the site. I provide a little detail of what I can offer, and also discuss resources and other information of interest when thinking about guitar or piano instruction!

Changes are coming to the “Monthly Shout” Newsletter.. well.. Not so “monthly” is it? So here’s the plan for what I’d like to do for the Newsletter as we roll into ‘21. As always, I appreciate your support, and I hope that a BlairOutLoud Newsletter can be used as a complimentary tool to further the brand. Thanks all!

Last week was a GREAT WEEK! All three shows were just amazing.. Tips were outstanding.. I really can’t express enough gratitude for the support.. And there were several confirmations of events coming this year that I’m so excited about! BlairOutLoud is gonna have a big year! And YOU make it possible!

I needed a small portable amp for the studio to use for guitar lessons that I give. I purchased the Boss Katana-Mini and I was impressed! Here is a Mini-Review (link to video in blog) of the KATANA-MINI portable battery powered amp! Enjoy!

With your help and support, the BlairOutLoud Facebook Page has now hit a new milestone of 1000 Likes. Thank you!

Hello friends and fans.. Tom Blair checking in.. It’s ROCK-tober.. so many great events are coming (finally got them all posted recently). Also.. I wanted to take a moment to talk about Eddie Van Halen’s influence on me over the years #EVHRIP and show some love for the 5150!

Check out my BlairOutLoud Solo Acoustic Page here on the website.. I’m putting together a killer collection of video from several shows that I think you’ll enjoy. Plus, there’s a Promo Vid for BlairOutLoud that I’m really proud of. Thanks!

This is an invite to check out my History Page here on blairoutloud.com! From onstage beginnings in ‘93 through the start of BlairOutLoud, hopefully you’ll get some perspective on where I’ve been and where I’m going next!

This is an article that I wrote and published on the BlairOutLoud profile on Medium.com March 5th, 2018. This is re-post of that entire article because I recently re-read it, and I think that it has helped me and continues to help me through difficult times. If you feel inspired, let me know in the comments! Enjoy.

I recently purchased a Fender Smolder Acoustic Overdrive pedal. I wanted to add some distortion to my guitar solos for the BlairOutLoud solo acoustic rock show! After a week of gigs, I can confidently say that this pedal has earned a spot on my acoustic pedal board and I’m totally satisfied!

I recently visited Hilton Head, SC. I’m always inspired by the musicians that perform there.. Here’s a few I came across that I want to highlight. After getting back from the trip, I’m now rested, inspired, and ready to jump back into my routine of bringing you great musical entertainment to finish out the year!

BlairOutLoud.com is officially launched! Parts of the website are still being added everyday, but most of its pages are ready and available for interactivity. Thanks to all that support BlairOutLoud.. I hope you enjoy the website and get value from visiting.
