Biography

Portland-based singer-songwriter Blair Borax writes tender folk-pop songs to make you feel less alone. With vocal stylings reminiscent of 1920s jazz, songwriting that is unafraid to tackle the taboo, and pop melodies that stay with you for days, Blair has something special to offer. She conjures a vocal charm somewhere in between Regina Spektor and First Aid Kit, wordsmithing inspired by folk songwriting greats like Paul Simon and Bob Dylan, and tender vulnerability akin to Haley Heynderickx and Big Thief’s Adrienne Lenker. After releasing her debut album “Keep Walking” in June 2022, she is planning to release her sophomore record “Tender Lately” this year. “With rich lyrics and a voice like molasses,” poet Juniper Klatt says, “Blair Borax makes music that moves you to the heart of being human, offers you a warm cup of tea, and invites you to stay a while.”
