We at the Lizard Lounge are so excited to have Blair and his band! Let's just get straight to the accolades shall we?

Best Songwriter 2013 "Crimmins has never been more refined than on this year's Sing-A-Longs CD. If he caters to any genre, it's one that's entirely his own, and that's something a lot of guys with pens and guitars either don't know how to do, or don't have the guts to do." Creative Loafing

"Ragtime and 1920's Dixieland Jazz have got a champion in Blair Crimmins. Sing-a-Longs is a perpetual motion machine of notes, rhythms and words and, while all albums should be just that, this one proves its worth as it shimmies, shakes, rattles and roars Ragtime."- The Alternative Root

This ain't your great-grandfather's ragtime, and Blair Crimmins isn't any quaint Dixieland revivalist. He's a rock star and Sing-A-Longs is a boisterous good time. Swing, Hookers, swing!" James Man (Ink 19)

Blair Crimmins began his current music career in Atlanta, Georgia, with a determination to bring Ragtime and 1920's style Dixieland Jazz to new audiences. What he created was a sound that is at once modern while being deeply rooted in the past. Now four years, and five hundred shows later, he has toured the Eastern United States playing large venues and has opened for national acts such as Mumford & Sons and O.A.R. A multi-instrumentalist and music academic, Crimmins writes songs and arrangements for a classic New Orleans style horn section consisting of Trumpet, Clarinet, Trombone. His debut release "The Musical Stylings Of" became a college radio sensation on WRAS Atlanta making him the most requested band on the air. His last release and video "State Hotel" landed them a full feature in Creative Loafing Atlanta. In 2012 Crimmins showed his musical diversity by writing and recording the full score for the independent short film "Old Man Cabbage".
