About Me

Blair Hebert is a Canadian, singer songwriter living in Vancouver BC. He is acknowledged by both fans and peers as a solid performer, gifted songwriter and an accomplished guitarist with a strong melodic voice. His charm on a concert stage is his ability to make you feel like you are in his living room. In 2006 Blair self produced his first full length songwriters CD titled KNOW drawing on songs he has performed for years in concert as a solo acoustic act. Using many of Vancouver's finest musicians, the CD is an eclectic groove driven compilation with tasty B3 organ and Latin percussion throughout, oh yes and accordion too. Onstage and Up-tempo, Blair is also known as a Jazz artist in Vancouver who fronted a five piece combo The Swinging Detectives since 1998. He is currently in studio writing and recording a swing CD for an ongoing project RADIO SATELLITE .. The new CD will be a collection of original and brilliant forgotten jump/swing tunes, performed with the same positive vibe as Louis Jordan, Slim Gaillard, Satchmo and Louis Prima. Blair still performs his acoustic songs with a band and recently produced a full cultural concert titled Sacred Work Ancient Earth OPUS which was well attended and shot with multi HD cameras and digitally recorded. Selections from the show will soon be available for public viewing and downloads. If you would like to contact Blair or be involved in bring the OPUS to your town, please contact Blair directly via email through this profile site. Check him out when you are in town and invite him to a concert stage near you.
