Big B Brenner "LIVE" Performance
Rhythmic Arts Dance Festival
New Years Eve '07 at Temple Ballroom - San Diego, California
Vocals & 12-String Guitar
Born and raised on the South Side of Chicago.
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.
2009 Release: OLD SCHOOL BLUES "Barry Big B Brenner's latest CD; "OLD SCHOOL BLUES" is Americana Roots Music at its finest. Recorded in May of 2009, it represents what you would likely hear TODAY at one of Big B's impressive LIVE shows. An enjoyable, eclectic mix of foot tapping, dance floor BLUES"
2006 Release: BLUES, RAGS & STOMPS! "Traditional and Contemporary COUNTRY BLUES & RAGTIME Music, performed Solo on acoustic 6 string, 12 string and National resonator Guitars with accompanying Vocals."

Barry, you absolutely ROCK! Of course I'm over the moon to have you as a friend. I'd love to know how you stumbled across my page though. The stuff on your page is ASTONISHING! Be in touch!
Mr. Gerit Robs from the Netherlands sent me a vinyl record of my Dad — Southside Blues (recorded in Chicago by Willie Dixon). First, I had to find a record player and now I find myself listening to it over and over. I have been listening for three days now.
Who: The Paige Capo What: Introducing their newest model, "The Clik" When: Summer NAMM 2009 Where: Nashville, Tennessee. Booth 1406. Why: Because you asked for it.
Thanks you for the friend request. You are a fine player! I really enjoyed your tunes. I'm learning to play myself and its an amazing journey. I now listen to players as fine as yourself with new ears. I can hear what you're doing now and understand. You are very good, Sir.
