You wouldn’t expect one of the best up-and-coming country acts to have once hidden his musical talent, but he did, as he told New England Country Music in 2014. Playing guitar was something that he did by himself in his bedroom- most of his friends had no idea. But after he started playing at parties and bonfires, he was encouraged to pursue that dream and thankfully he did. Ever since, Blaire Hanks has been a staple in the country music scene on social media; constantly interacting with his fans, giving them updates about new music and an inside look at the Florida native’s life. On February 17th, Blaire gave his fans an even more in depth look at his life as Blaire joined New England Country Music for a NECMchat! If you missed the chat, check out the transcript below to learn about Blaire’s pre-show rituals, his memories from tour, one odd request from a fan, and more!
Let's get it started! #NECMchat time with @BlaireHanks! Tweet your questions to Blaire using the #NECMchat hashtag! Blaire, you ready!?
