about

Manuel Bair is a driven, direct and charismatic artist with a well-rounded nostalgic sound that blurs the lines between different genres, borrowing from influences as diverse as Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Edwin McCain and Elliott Smith. Bair is all about great melodies and his impressive debut collection, LIVING PROOF, is replete with earnest lyrics and memorable hooks that truly stand the test of time. With an expressive and wide-ranging low tenor, Bair's smooth delivery will remind listeners of the work of seminal singers like the late great Elliott Smith, Rob Thomas, and Eddie Vedder. LIVING PROOF chronicles Bair's first ten years as a journeyman singer/songwriter and showcases his pensive recollections of love, loss, rebirth, and redemption. With three singles hitting the Spotify Hot 100 and multiple standout live favorites, Manuel Bair is quickly becoming a recognizable name in alternative rock.
