It’s no secret we love Blair, and are super-excited she’s just re-located form her native New Orleans to Los Angeles (look for upcoming live dates). Staying busy, she recently just finished up an EP of covers, including her take on The Replacements “Androgynous,” off the Mats 1984 LP Let It Be.
Blair performs tonight, at Bordello, in downtown L.A.
