Jarni Blair

Originally hailing from Dunedin, it was his father’s record collection that sparked something inside of him to become a musician and songwriter, learning to sing and play the guitar at age ten.
Drawing influence from The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Yardbirds, The Who and many more from that era, Jarni’s passion for music extends across pop, rock and blues genres. Modern influences include John Mayer, Tom Misch, James Bay and Ed Sheeran.

Jarni will be celebrating the release of ‘Higher Than The Sky’ with two shows in Auckland and Wellington with his full band consisting of Mitch French, Grant Morgan, and Andrew Kerr.
