Sounds LikePeople have said Ben Harper and Richie Havens, breathy, a wooden Indian flute, theft, too rock for r&b, too poetic for pop music, too soul for rock...whatever. Lately, my new stuff is generally faster, harder, more urgent, intense. I don't know, sounds like music.

This is an independent list made by someone I've never even met, so I'm flattered and thankful. Plus there's some other good folks on the list. Check it out.

   About BLAIR
I'm a black, queer writer and musician. I went to South Africa and on a a few tours including a six month independent tour of the U.S. I grew up in New Jersey. I live in Detroit. I'm interested in every kind of music. It just has to move me. Always been interested in doing a lot of different styles. I feel I'm ready to dive deeper. I've written a one man show called Burying the Evidence. You can check one of the blogs for a description of it. Come see it sometime. I'm working on a book. I've been published in Black Rennaissance Noire (NYU Press) by Quincy Troupe and some newspapers and journals over the last few months. My dad looked like Chuck Berry, played like Hank Williams. My mom cleaned white folk's houses. She raised five children. On her own. I inherited all sorts of ghosts from both of them. Sometimes I can fly.

I'm in my home town in Nebraska. In a week I'll be in London and parts of England for two weeks. Then I'm moving to NYC in August for 5 months but I plan to return to Nebraska after that. Of course I always keep things loose and see what happens.

Your stuff from the trip is incredible. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Are you going to play in England in May/June?

Hi Blair,

Thanks for the ad! It was gret to see you last month when you performed for my African American literature students. It really was a very special experience for them--it came up again and again in discussion as a touchstone. Please come and tell your friends about our upcoming CD release party. (Although I think you will be rocking Germany at the time--still, spread the word!) We are going to perform a set and then be followed by M.L. Liebler and the Magic Poetry Band and then Leonardo singing Delta Blues. Afterward, we will have a general jam session with whoever wants to play.

Wednesday, May 13th, 7:30 p.m.
Jazz Cafe
350 Madison Ave., Detroit

All the best!

Hey friend

In life, we all have goals.
Goals are what drive us, what push us forward, what give our life purpose and meaning.

My main goal is to appear and perform my original poem, "Half Hearted," on The Ellen Degeneres Show. I've been working on this goal for 2 years, and I can't give up.
If you would like to help, please visit www.RendaWriter.com and sign my online petition that I created to help me get the attention of the show's producers and get me on the show.

Most big goals are reached by setting smaller goals along the way. So my goal is to go from 574 signatures to 650 signatures by May 1st. I can do that easily with your support. Thanks for your support.

Peace,
Renda Writer
