Welcome
Welcome to Blair Lott's Home on the web.
The deep, expressive singing voice of Augusta, Georgia’s own Blair Lott has
long been a familiar sound to music fans in the Southeast.
It’s a voice that most of us first heard when Blair initially rose to prominence
as the leader and frontman of the longtime Athens/Atlanta rock group Ruben
Kincaid. However, although his band’s name often drew laughs (that is, from fans
hip enough to catch its knowing allusion to The Partridge Family), what kept
listeners coming back for more was not Kincaid’s humor but rather the brooding
intensity of the group’s densely literary songs. Blair and his fellow Kincaid
members recorded a well-received album, filmed a pricey and much-lauded promo
video, and toured the region extensively for over 10 years. However, throughout
it all, Blair always yearned to embark on a solo project that would be 100% his
own.
Rooms and Boxes – in stores now--
is that album.
“This record is very special to me. It represents a place and time, rich with
both joy and heartache, a slice of one period of my life.” Blair declares
proudly. “It’s also a sonic scrapbook of the music I heard and loved while
growing up in Augusta, Georgia…ranging from James Brown and Motown, to Elvis
Costello, The Jam, Talking Heads, Lou Reed and even The Stranglers. I wanted to
re-create that tinge of R&B and Soul that pop and rock music used to have. I
also wanted it to have the textures of an old vinyl LP, to ebb and flow, and to
seem like a complete work, not just a collection of songs.”
Bringing Blair’s album to vibrant, rocking life on concert stages is all-new
ensemble dubbed The Blair Lott Band. Its members include multi-talented
guitarist Mark Evers drummer-about-town Mike Shealey, and veteran bassist Eli Wendkos.
