Michael Blair is an American percussionist based in Sweden who has worked with Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, T-Bone Burnett and many others. He was born to a military family and spent his youth moving around the United States, and his interest in music was influenced heavily by his parents record collection of 60s pop and rock'n'roll.
