"Coming At You Live From Tropical Heatwave"

All zydeco music sounds more or less the same to me, so I skipped BeauSoleil avec Michael Doucet and hopped upstairs to the Ballroom, where I caught one of the pleasant surprises of the night: Blair Carman and the Belleview Boys, who played a dead-on set of rockabilly classics (Johnny Cash, Ray Charles, Little Richard, Hank Williams) and a few very nice originals to a packed crowd. The best thing about these guys was that they were dressed like characters from some '50s-themed amusement park pompadours and ducktails, matching suits and string neckties. My compadre Leigh Armstrong called Carman the second coming of Jerry Lee Lewis.

"The Best Thing That's Happened To Honkytonk and Rockabilly Piano Playing Since Jerry Lee Lewis!"

A phrase that's been used to describe the wild piano pounding Rock-N-Roll talent of this young man from Cincinnati Ohio.

Take the 1957 hands of Jerry Lee Lewis and the 1957 look of Elvis Presley and the raw energy of those two artists and what do you get? A piano pumpin', thumpin rockabilly kid named Blair Carman.

Blair started playing and performing when he was just a child. Having the talent to play many instruments, Blair settled on the piano as his instrument of choice to exhibit his passionate musical drive. Blair is a real Rockabilly enthusiast and strives to keep his music authentic.

From the honky tonkin' songs of Hank Williams, to the rock-n-rollin' hits of Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. A Blair Carman show is guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
