Caught live in the studio, the virtuosic Blair imagines if Raymond Chandler and Sam Cooke were street musicians busking with David Bowie's beat-up 12-string guitar.
Bio / Background
Pennsylvania-based "singer at large" Johnny J Blair creates pop music hailing from sources as diverse as Motown, Tin Pan Alley, and the British Invasion. An adept multi-instrumentalist, he writes adventurous songs that get under the skin while speaking to issues larger than romantic love and loss. His recordings reflect a spectrum of styles and traditions, drawing on influences as disparate as the Beach Boys, Sam Cooke, and the Velvet Underground. Through this virtual clinic of composition and performance rings a note of missionary passion.
Blair's new Treadmarks, released by U.S. indie label Wampus Multimedia, distills his influences into a finely cut slice of acoustic pop. With touchstones ranging from the Beatles, Kinks, and Roxy Music to Al Green and James Brown, Treadmarks is mainstream music with a bold edge, accessible pop bent on originality.
