Born in Chanute, Kansas, Brian got an early taste for Country Music from his father. Bob (Brian's father), worked as an electrical linesman, and spent a lot of time on the road driving to various worksites. While in the truck, Bob would listen to and sing along with the Country Music Legends. Brian listened to Country Music before he could talk, and began identifying with the lyrics at an early age.
Like father - like son... Brian chose an occupation that would have him on the road for many hours a day doing, you guessed it, singing along with the Country Music Legends like Merle Haggard, George Strait, and the many other influences that Brian has looked up to.
Brian's father passed away in 1997 at an early age leaving Brian to interpret many new views of our time on earth. Life is too short, and you MUST pursue any and all dreams you have! Brian had dabbled on the guitar for a couple of years, and played sax in the high school band. His love and respect for music as a whole inspired him to chase his dream.
After winning several talent contests locally as well as in other states, Brian went on to enter a contest in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. There, he was approached by Dwight Johnson, a promoter and talent scout, about Brians ability to capture an audience. Dwight suggested that he go to Nashville and REALLY learn the business. Brian did just that, and met up with great songwriters to include Pat Durbin and Tom Paden. Brian has since built a strong friendship with both writers, and has written with Tom Paden
Since this time, Brian and his band, 'The Dealers', play throughout the Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee area. Brian decided to create his own project, and had Tom Paden produce it in Nashville at County Q Studios. The title song, 'My Stongest Weakness' was written by Brian, Tom, and Mark Chaney, which received a 'Genuine DisCovery' comment from Music Critic Robert K. Oermann. It demonstrates Brian's ability to not only write a great Country song, but to perform it as well. You should keep your ears open on the radio for Brian Odle is an artist you will be hearing on every channel soon....
Most recently, Brian has had the opportunity to visit with George and Nancy Jones at their home in Brentwood where Brian began a friendship and 'mentorship' with George and Nancy. He has had the privilage to perform with and open for country music stars such as Merle Haggard, Darryl Worley, Mark Chesnutt, Leann Womack, and many more... Brian and his 'NASHVILLE TEAM' have been meeting with the record labels, promoters and booking agents as he is off and growing larger than he ever though possible.
