The quintessential performer, Brian engages the audience wherever he plays. His Smokey Vocal style and rip-roaring Guitar work leave audiences begging for more after every performance. Brian performs regularly as a Trio with good friend and Drummer William Young and Bassist Kenny Martinez along the front-range in Colorado with occasional excursions into Wyoming and Texas.

Why this name?
It's my real name. Seriously! It was Hell when I was growing up too. You know John-Boy, Mary-Ellen...
Do you play live?
Yeap as often as possible. I stick to premiere events nowadays doing mostly concert halls, but occasionally I hit a club or two in Denver.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well the success is much more immediate. That's for sure.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Nope. Been there. Done that. I don't like the contract conditions or the slimy marketing execs. The label I'm with now gives me much more freedom.
Band History:
I hooked up with William and Kenny when they called me to sit in on a gig with them. We liked it so much, we just kept going. We took a little Hiatus to deal with personal issues, but are now back on the road again.
Your influences?
Eric Clapton, Stevie-Ray Vaughn, Albert Lee, Molly Hatchett
Favorite spot?
Just about anywhere I can drop my fishing line
Equipment used:
Vintage Fender Strat's and Tele's piped through a Fender R212 with very little effects.
Anything else...?
Thanks to my wife and kids for all the support
