About Br’er

Br’er is primarily a recording project for Philadelphia native Benjamin Schurr, employing a large host of musicians in the area to create his dense experimental pop compositions. Formed originally as a means to complete several unfinished songs Benjamin recorded for another project, Br’er quickly became its own entity after several manic recording sessions with borrowed equipment, broken keyboards and other pieces of musical trash lying around. “Of Shemales and Kissaboos,” the first Br’er album was recorded in a period right after Benjamin got off of being on medicine and was homeless. This resulted in guerilla recording sessions that involved finding a place to stay, hauling a bunch of equipment, and recording for a few days before leaving. Br’er became a functional band with the addition of harpist/multi-instrumentalist Darian Scatton in July of 2007, and after several line up changes, now usually contains Benjamin Schurr, Darian Scatton, & Roger Alejandro Martinez.
