HI. We're Brian Mauer and Ben Verson. We've been writing, recording and performing music for over 35 years together. What do we call it? HMMMMMMMMMM, we're not sure. We incorporate any and all styles. We hope you will find that we have succeeded in homogenizing a unique style. Influences range from classic rock (Beatles, Who, Zeppelin) to Folk, slip in a bit of bluegrass, and an equal amount of metal, and you get...Something, without a name.Band/artist history
See above.Have you performed in front of an audience?We have in the past (all the major rock clubs in Chicago). We don't right now. We have the mantle of "parental responsibilities", which take a great deal of our time. Given the limits, we are chosing (right now) to concentrate on writing and recording. We do LIKE to perform (and both of us are quite natural hams, and bon vivant, rapier wits. Bwawahahahah.) Special moments...leaving 300 people cheering on their feet at the Cubby Bear, on a mid-January Wednesday, on the coldest day of the year (28 below zero)

Great Rock sounds for a GREAT Rock artist.
Thanks and keep on rocking!
"Pissed off and put upon", is a serious piece of music. Great songwriting. These songs are hot. You should rate me too. Check out my new track,"Try this on for size".
You inspire freedom.
When the moon rises in the heart of heaven
And a light breeze touches the mirror-like face of the lake
That is indeed a moment of pure joy.
But few are they who are aware of it.

Sharing our work with each other and with all those we can reach, continues to bring real art to the world. I hope you’ll stop by & listen well.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for the note. A JAZZ guitar?!Hmmmm.... Perhaps I can e-mail you a couple of ideas/tunes. Probably will give you a shout later. Did you add some tunes? Something sounds different! Peace-out
