The heartfelt singing and soulful wailing of Blaire Reinhard is smokey and full-bodied with hints of lilac and gasoline. Blaire and her band’s inventive live shows stretch from delicate moments of nostalgia and tenderness to throes of angst and fervor.

If you haven’t seen Blaire perform live yet, you’ve most likely heard her on TV (So You Think You Can Dance, Lincoln Heights theme song, Chappelle’s Show, Felicity, Young and the Restless), in feature films (The Namesake, High School Musical, Step Up), or on radio programs across the East Coast (including in-studio performances at WDHA and WVIA, and parodies of top 40 hits on Z100’s Z Morning Zoo). The Blaire Reinhard Band (“The BRB”) has been featured on MTV alongside Alicia Keys and Nick Lachey, opened for national artists like Kenny Loggins and Pete Francis of Dispatch, and been joined onstage by John Popper of Blues Traveler. They have headlined some the largest festivals in New Jersey (such as First Night Morris County) and have entertained celebrity audiences including Matthew Broderick, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and the New York Jets.

Blaire is joined by her brother Gray Reinhard (piano, guitar) and her husband Wade Perrin (bass, harmonica), as well as Keith Woodward (drums) and Phil Ward (guitar, mandolin)—all of whom lend strong back-up vocals and harmonies to the band’s signature sound. The BRB has released two albums, and is currently working with Grammy Award-winning producer Glenn Rosenstein on a third album, which will feature Blaire and Gray’s grandfather Doc Severinsen, world-renowned trumpet player and bandleader.

In addition to their regular shows in and around New York City, the band performs as Character Zoo at weddings and other functions, and they operate Hearsay Productions, a boutique music house providing custom compositions for TV, film, internet, radio and other media.
