The Couple are Neil Finlay & Crissi Blair
Neil picked up the guitar as a teenager and his love for old-time blues has seen him sharing the stage with international blues and country musicians, touring with the likes of Brownie McGhee, Billy Joe Shaver, and Townes Van Zandt. His repertoire spans genres including country, blues, jazz and swing, playing in many a jazz bar, blues club and folk and jazz festival as a soloist or with one of his many bands. Crissi has enjoyed a lifetime love of folk and country music, playing guitar and singing in Irish bars, folk clubs, and at the kitchen table.
Neil and Crissi, partners in life and music, join together to perform folk, Americana, blues and more.
