BB King, David Gilmour and Stevie Ray Vaughan have had the most impact on me. I like and respect so many other guitarists and musicians from all genres such as Robin Trower, Kenny Burrell, Mato Nanji, Joe Bonamassa, Peter Frampton, Buddy Guy, Keith Urban, Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks, Alison Krauss, John Coletrane, Robben Ford, McCoy Tyner, Gary Moore, Sly Stone, Jimi Hendrix, Earth Wind and Fire, Ricky Scaggs, Billy Gibbons and the amazing Albert King...Whew! There are so many others that I can't list them all.

Hi, and thanks for checking in. My name is Brian and I write atmospheric, experimental music. I stopped playing guitar in my early teens and never picked one up again until several years ago. Now all the music that has been bottled up in my head over the last three decades is slowly starting to come out. I started this page as an outlet for my music and future projects.
I love the Blues and basically anything to do with guitars and gear. My favorite guitarists are David Gilmour for his unimaginable phrasing and note bending, BB King for his sweet vibrato and Stevie Ray Vaughan for the raw energy and emotion he poured into every note he played. I also enjoy many other genres of music. I grew up listening to everything from Bluegrass, Jazz, Funk, Gospel, Rock and of course the Blues.
My own music is a combination of those many different styles and influences. I try to make music that is from the heart in hopes of creating a peaceful and atmospheric experience. I just try to play soulfully, with all the emotion and feeling that I can draw upon, hoping it is conveyed to the listener. I am also guided by a "less is more" philosophy, concentrating on the notes that are not played, to allow a song to have space and breathe.
The songs on my player are all work in progress tracks. I am currently in the process of finishing them as well as writing new material. I will be adding new tracks periodically so keep checking back.
...The ways, the ins and outs of heaven still elude us to the end The tears, the sun the rain, I feel them on my face against my skin We loved you then, we love you still And don’t you know, don’t you know that heroes never die, They sail forever
Close my eyes now, and focus on the light You are more beautiful and never out of sight And tears that fall are blood from the heart, from the moment we part May I offer those tears for the love of the years For the love....
