Saturdays in September: Richard Blair

Richard Blair, singer-songwriter and Truckee resident for 30+ years has recorded two

CDs (third in the making) about Truckee’s early history in the late 1800’s. The songs

are the “old” stories put to “modern” folk-roots/Americana melodies. In troubadour

style, stories about Truckee and Tahoe are woven between each song to give the listener a

background and a sense of their historic significance. How the names on subdivisions,

developments, streets, mountain peaks and the town of Truckee are brought to light.
