Quote – Dale Russel, former guitarist/songwriter for THE GUESS WHO
“I find David’s songs compelling. They are full of strong intelligent lyrics creating wonderful images and heartfelt moods, all driven by catchy musical hooks with simple but very good arrangements. I am a believer that no one delivers a song quite like the writer and David is singing proof of that.” – DALE RUSSELL – former guitarist/songwriter for THE GUESS WHO
New Music Vids, Interviews, Radio and more…
After touring North America for 2 months this summer and receiving airplay in Toronto and southern Ontario, southern Alberta, Vancouver Island and Northwest Territories for my single ‘Hurts So Hard’, I’ve finally broken the Vancouver barrier with my second single ‘This Is The Soundtrack’ which is now being played on Shore 104.1 FM! Listen online anywhere in the world at www.shore104.com
This is exciting as I’m in the midst of shooting new music videos for ‘This Is The Soundtrack’ and ‘I Want To Fall’ – so the releases of these to my youtube channel (youtube.com/davidblairmusic) should be done by Christmas!
Finally – but certainly not least – this week I was also featured in the Georgia Straight – a Vancouver city paper with a circulation of 750,000 – check out the great article here!

Review – Georgia Straight
“With his ultra-smooth voice and compelling emotion, Blair’s take on breezy 1970’s California pop-rock is sure to leave first-time listeners more than a little wowed.” – Jennifer Charlesworth, Georgia Straight
Quote – 24 Hours Magazine
“With his smooth voice and even smoother delivery, Blair brings to our scened-out music scene a refreshing and long-absent attack in the war against artist obscurity, all the while using the true songwriter’s weapons of choice: Honesty and talent.” – 24 hrs Magazine
Review – The Portal Magazine
“Standing with acoustic guitar in hand, David performed a 30 minute set, consisting of tracks from Things Left Unsaid, and his first release, Hard To Control. Instantly I was making comparisons to Jason Mraz, and John Mayer, with the boyish charm and charisma of Maroon 5 front man, Adam Levine. [...] I sat there just mesmerized, as his passion and enjoyment for playing music came through with every note, and word he sang, with a voice so smooth and pure with effortless range.” — Shannon Ambrose, The Portal Magazine
