IS BRIAN A SOLO ACT?
JUST LISTEN!
YES AND NO. BRIAN IS MORE A SOLO ARTIST, LET’S SAY A SOLO CREATIVE ARTIST. IN HIS HOME STUDIO, he METICULOUSLY PLAYS, RECORDS (drums/bass/piano/horns/harmonies/acoustic guitar). HE THEN ARRANGES the TRACKS and MARINATES THEm USING HIS INBORN MUSICAL INSIGHT.
SO, NO. BRIAN IS NOT A SOLO ACT. DURING HIS LIVE PERFORMANCE, HE LAYERS HIS ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF GUITAR CHOPS AND TONES ONTO HIS FINISHED TRACKS: A SOUL STIRRING, FOOT TAPPING, BODY MOVING, FULL BAND EXPERIENCE.
SO, YOU MAKE THE CALL!
JUST LISTEN!
