Brian Mackey, in his own words, a manic romantic, says, "He's in love with the idea of love." Every long winding search of dead ends, broken relationships and struggles could make it easy for someone to just give up. But Brian shows "all of us". From age 5, a small scrawny boy with dirty red glasses and white briefs sat at an out-of-tune piano and did his best John Lennon. He didn't come from the best of childhoods, but as the great Frank Mc Court would say, "a normal childhood is hardly worth your while".
Brian spent a lot of time in the South, in a town called Havana, Florida. Surrounded by beautiful land and paddle-weilding principles that were eager to dole out the corporal punishment, he reflects now with song and lyric.

RED (Preview CD to "Soul Cavity")
A self-proclaimed manic romantic, Brian Mackey says that, "He's in love with the idea of love." After giving his RED CD a listen, you too may forget all the bullshit that consumes your life and just live on loving. With a power rock sound like Coldplay and Oasis, and a voice that reminds one of James Blunt, I find it hard to believe that Brian Mackey isn’t heard on major radio.
The opener to this stellar 4-track disc “Painted Red” tells us of Brian’s love. His Love makes his world a little bit easier to deal with and how no matter what the circumstances, his Love will endure. Something everyone wants, everlasting love and companionship. “Come Out Of The House” speaks of Love also but it in different sense. Like John Cusack in Say Anything, Brian Mackey is outside his lovers house willing her to come with him and leave another “after he goes to bed” because their Love is special and will last.
As a songwriter myself, I relate to Brian Mackey in a very special way. There’s nothing more satisfying than writing a Love song. It’s the perfect way to express ones uninterrupted thoughts towards another. Even if that special someone never hears the words you’ve written for him or her, the songwriter feels a sense of completion. In other words, it’s a great way to get over someone. You’d be surprised that these love songs are universal and that they can relate to everyone and every situation.
This is an easy listen that will leave you singing Brian Mackey’s hooks all day long, and then some. Give Brian Mackey a listen.
Check him out on November 12th on Cape Cods WKKL for a live interview.

MYSPACE'S "CD REVIEW" LOS ANGELES, CA
Brian Mackey is one of those kind of guys who could make you just sit back and stare at the wonder of an accomplished singer/songwriter. His song 'Painted Red' has appeared in the tv show Naturally Sadie, and is a fine piece of work, flowing seemlessly into something that could keep your attention for hours. Truly a talented artist to sit back and chill with for a night.
AQUARIAN MAGAZINE -- Hal Selzer
Claims Brian Mackey to be "A True Artist"
NJCOAST.COM -- Carole J. Brandi
"The melodies and words stuck to my brain the way ocean saltwater can stick to your skin—a kind of medicine like no other. His songs are based on his experiences. Having been through some tumultuous relationships in his life, he wrote a song for an ex-girlfriend that truly broke his heart and delivered it the way Fed Ex and the E-mail couldn’t — he left it on her answering machine!? When he introduced the song at SICA, I expected something sharp or biting like some of his other songs. Instead I was treated to a beautiful, heartfelt song about a boy hoping his lost girl will miss him when he’s gone. 'Don’t forget me when I’m gone. Sing my song.' The crowds give him total silence on this track.
