Singer/Songwriter - brían (bree - n for those not familiar with Irish names) originally from Limerick, Ireland.
Ive been playing music now for over 12 years, traveled a bit, played venues in NewYork, San Francisco, Spain, France, Austria, Belgium and ehh Listowel Co.Kerry. Ive also played on the same bill as the likes of Bellx1 and Mundy.
The tracks above were recorded in February 2008 with the help of James North and Maria Twomey, (who helped out with backing vocals for whats funny bout it)in Brisvegas, Australia. Track 3 Fun Song for Anna was recorded January 2007 in a house in Co. Kerry, Ireland (god bless home recording!)
