Cutting a new path and bucking current trends in the rock genre, singer/songwriter Brian Bateman unveils a unique sound that melds poignant and thoughtful lyrics with a meticulous vocal quality. He weaves a wide variety of musical influences into a highly tangible and infectious brand of original pop rock music. Brian is turning heads by putting the focus back on the song. Brian Bateman offers up an emotional journey through eleven tracks of straight forward, no nonsense guitar rock, textured with his signature voice and 12-string guitar playing. With catchy riffs abound, and no shortage of sing-along choruses, White Lie sells itself as a true pop gem with Brian nestled firmly as a diamond in the rough.
Why this name?
I had less interest in being in bands and more ambition to become a solo artist.
Do you play live?
I’m more comfortable playing and performing in front of crowds and being on stage than I am in my own home. Yes, I absolutely live for the performance and the overall ambience of a playing live. On stage is where I get my relaxation. Performing is the greatest stress reliever for me. Especially if I’ve given what I felt was an exceptional performance. As far as it being a necessity of the business, I can easily understand where artists might adopt that perspective. The stage can be intimidating and sometimes painful. If you aren’t comfortable, it comes across within seconds, and the crowd gets that vibe. For me, I am in my absolute comfort zone on stage. I hope it stays that way
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes
Band History:
I am putting the finishing touches on a new band. They are affectionately calling themselves the Brian Bateman Band. Our biggest focus at the moment is getting the CD out to anybody who will listen. Naturally, I’d love to have some record company interest. But, immediately, we have a new album to promote. I plan on continuing to write new material, and taking my music out to as many people that I can. It’s going to be a great year!
Your influences?
I am influenced by all styles of music from all eras. I grew up listening to 70’s guitar rock, but was also an enormous Elvis Presley fan Tracy Chapman, Melissa Etheridge, and Indigo Girls
Favorite spot?
