   About Brian Hudson
I am professional drummer living in metro Atlanta. From 2001-2008, I was the drummer in roots rock band Memory Dean where I played at music venues and clubs all around the southeast.

Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of performing and collaborating with some of the most talented musicians in Georgia. I have performed with a wide array of artists who perform a variety of music ranging from jazz to blues to roots rock to Latin to Funk. Due to my vast list of influences and my many years of training, I have the unique ability to function well in a wide range of musical genres. Whether it's performing pop/rock with Memory Dean or contemporary jazz/fusion with Waterlines, I adjust well to any musical situation.

I am a proud endorser of UNIGRIP Specialty Products. Check them out!

SInce 2004, I have endorsed and played SilverFox Drumsticks.

Brah... it was SOOOOOO REFRESHING to hear "Vonetta" again - I first heard it from one of the Faculty Fusion groups down at the Armed Forces School of Music, in Little Creek, VA. / back in '84... I later arranged it for my Drum Line ("The Commandants Own", U.S.Marine Drum & Bugle Corps, at 8th & I in DC...). It was sooo good to hear it again Brian, THANKS!

Hope to hear from you and see you perform sometime... so stay in touch and give me a shout from time to time!

In Him,
