Brian Dolph is the type of singer/songwriter who takes his business very
seriously and knows that success takes a lot of hard work. His songs delve into the human emotions and desires we all share.

Brian’s low-key style has been compared to the likes of Don Williams and the laid back troubadours who write and sing songs about the working man and everyday life. His lyrics and easy delivery convey to the listener - true feelings from the heart.

While performing at various songwriting venues Brian was convinced that his calling in life was that of a singer/songwriter. Consumed by his energies to go further, he fulfilled his dream by recording several tracks with well-known Nashville producer Gary Buck and award winning engineer Les Ladd (Capitol Records Nashville).

In 1999 Brian began to see his hard work and persistence pay off by having his songs released on the highly acclaimed Hillcrest label. In the fall of 1999, Brian found his first release “You Got That Right” (produced by Les Ladd) on the European & Canadian charts. Since that time Brian has released 9 more singles on the Hillcrest label and all have charted throughout Europe.

Brian has since recorded several songs with Ken Greer (Tom Cochrane Red Ryder, Road Hammers) and has been working closely with a Nashville song plugger. A number of his songs are currently being considered by well known Canadian and Nashville artists. In February of 2008 HE DIED FOR LOVE, a song he co-wrote with Larry Tilander was released to Canadian radio by Winnipeg new comer Rod Stordy.

Recently he has also worked with a number of local artists producing songs for them. And at long last Brian is back in the studio recording his latest full length album. The album is being recorded in Nashville with some of the best studio musicians in the business. Be listening to your radios for a new single from Brian fall 2008.....

Why this name?
My mother and father gave it to me... ;-)
Do you play live?
Brian mostly plays live in and around his hometown at various jamborees. The shows usually draw between 400-800 people and are held monthly.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, i still believe that the majors and major indies have a valuable role to play in the industry. There needs to be some rethinking on their part though on how music is delivered to the public.
Your influences?
My musical influences were fairly broadbased. I listened to everything from Rush, Queen, Triumph to The Eagles, Oak Ridge Boys and Sawyer Brown. My musical interests are still as deversifed and will also include laying back and listening to light classical on the radio.
Favorite spot?
My favorite spot would have to be the east coast of Canada, especially Prince Edward Island. I lived down ther for many years before we moved to Ontario. I also enjoy the Nashville world as well. I have several friends in the area. A buddy of mine, a former engineer with Capitol Records,used to live in the hills just outside of Nashville. A beautiful and quiet place.
Anything else...?
Brian has been a member of the Country Music Association (CMA) in Nashvilee for the past 9 years. He is also a member of the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) in Canada and the European Countrry Music Association (ECMA) as well.
