New World Tampa Presents:

Blair Crimmins and The Hookers

Blair Crimmins began his music career in Atlanta, Georgia, with a drive to bring Ragtime and 1920’s style Dixieland Jazz to new audiences. While playing small rock clubs around the Southeast he developed a sound that is deeply rooted in the past with a modern twist. He has toured the U.S and Italy playing festivals and has opened for acts such as Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Old Crow Medicine show and played with jazz legend Wynton Marsalis.

A multi-instrumentalist on guitar, banjo and piano, Crimmins writes songs and arrangements for a classic New Orleans style horn section consisting of trumpet, clarinet and 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. In 2012 Crimmins showed his musical diversity by writing and recording the full score for the independent short film “Old Man Cabbage”. The following year, Crimmins was the critics pick for Best Song Writer of 2013 in Creative Loafing’s Best of ATL issue. His next album entitled Sing-a-longs! earned him a nomination at The Georgia Music Awards for Best Jazz Artist. After years of relentless touring the country and abroad Blair Crimmins released his 4th album of original ragtime music You Gotta Sell Something (2017), as well two children’s album All Aboard (2019) and SoulShine (2023). The latest Blair Crimmins and The Hookers full length record features swinging covers of his favorite artists ranging from Louis Armstrong to David Bowie entitled “Okay Boom!”.
