"I've seen Brian perform in Los Angeles and all over Chicago. His work has continued to grow and flourish. From the haunting cerebral 'That Would Be A First' to the anthemic 'Long Island Sound' and the sweet and swirling 'Santa Cruz' he continues to develop a personal sound that takes its cue from acoustic greats like Peter Mulvey and Bruce Cockburn with Jeff Buckley, Mark Knopfler ...But then, with wry humor, and a willingness to experiment, he works in other influences - heavy metal hair bands ...country songs you haven't heard and even Broadway musicals ...He'll start singing, and you'll be surprised. Or maybe even amazed." Chris Wieland - screenwriter and producer of The Rest of Your Life
