The Blair-Rich Project

"A band that rocks, but not a rock band"

About Me

email [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------send $10ppd to POBox 14642, portland, or 97293 for a copy of the CD and much love from us!--------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------Blair Vail has been a singer and songwriter since 1996, Rich has been tapping on things for decades, but it was only when his girlfriend Blair bought him a drum one Christmas that he started pretending to be a musician. Originally based on Rich playing in support of Blair's solo material, the two began collaborating on new material.--------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------The band name predates the band by about a year, being an inevitable pun for a couple with such names.
