Keith Blair plays the Blue Moon on July 29 Keith Blair is everywhere! Facebook, Blue Moon, Grant Street. Artmosphere. The parking lot. Home Depot. St. John's Cathedral. A Porto-Jon. Kart Ranch. Omnipresent. There's nothing else to be said....other than the fact that his smoking, blues-saturated, gun-slinging guitar playing has been gracing Lafayette clubs for over a decade. He's got the arch twang and molecular heat of the devil in his bones. Keith Blair lights it on fire at the Blue Moon on July 29. Give the dude a break; he's only got 1,702 friends on his Facebook page, he's lonely - go see him LIVE.
