A guitar-playing hockey player taught him his first chords on his new Fender guitar. Cover bands came and went and then life got in the way, so he put the guitar down. He wrote some songs, but nothing became of them. Facing age sixty, his mortality, and becoming a grandfather, Brian resurrected old songs and dug deeper.
Brian's writing style is influenced by the songwriters who lived on the outside of the Nashville scene. He incorporated their unpolished styles into his lyrics and simple melodies. Traditional, vintage, classic, timeless, and retro. Just him and the acoustic. Brian wants his to sound like it was born in the 1920s. Raw, unfettered and real.
