Blair is a singer/songwriter from New Orleans, LA and her music is self-described as “Dolly Parton meets Radiohead meets Neil Young meets uptown New Orleans.” I’m not so sure about the Radiohead, but her soon-to-be-released EP Pluto is filled with soothing country-tinged indie-folk-pop tunes. She may be singing about the effects of Hurricane Katrina and how it ravaged New Orleans, but (for me at least) the songs are calming.

Her beautiful voice and quiet acoustic guitar are charming in a way that will make you forget everything that ails you. There is (however) an underlying vulnerability that makes the music even more captivating. Maybe that’s why I’ve been listening to these songs all day.
