Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago.
Been a working musician off & on since Elementary School.
Moved on out to California at 20 years of age.
Has performed alongside such notables as renowned blues guitar maestro Albert King and Eric Burdon of Animals fame.
Continuing in the grand American tradition of solo country bluesman and folk music songster. A lifelong proponent of FINGERSTYLE, Bottleneck Slide and Ragtime guitar picking. Big B makes his mark on 6-string, 12-string & National Resonator Guitars.
Brenner performs the real Country Folk Blues from Mississippi Delta, Texas Plains, Piney Woods, Piedmont Seaboard, Louisiana Bayou and of course...Chicago's South Side.
This music oozes out of the weird American night. Fine, mellow and yet exciting and invigorating, like the most distinct of distilled spirits.
BigB is sure to please...be it a Whitehouse reception, Royal Wedding, 3x7 Birthday bash, BBQ house party, jumpin' country dance, roadside jukejoint, secluded barrelhouse, grits & gravy diner, or poolroom saloon.
Barry...Things have been kinda busy since returning from L. A. I really enjoy your CD. Your approach to the music is truly authentic your playing style is right in the pocket. Some
great pickin'. I am going to play a track from your disc on my program in Saint Maarten. You can catch the stream at www.island92.com Sundays at 7pm eastern and 4pm pacific time. The show is rebroadcast Thursday at the same time, so with this play, you become international! Thanks again for the great music and keep on playin' them Blues. Brian Elliott (President Colorado Blues Society)
