Introduction: FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HIRING BRIAN FOR AN EVENT, GIG, OR PRODUCTION/STUDIO WORK, PLEASE SEE THE ENTIRE PROFILE
Hi, thanks for your interest in hiring me to play at your event, party, or venue. While I often perform solo or as a duo, I also play with my trio, quartet, and, if needed, my nine-piece band. One of the keys to my success over the years is my ability to perform so many varied styles of music.
WHY HIRE BRIAN ?
1) The list of players I regularly play with in my band is a “Who’s, Who “ of Bay Area talent.
2) I have never had a negative review or dissatisfied client. Because of this, I form relationships with clients that continue to grow over the years.
3) I custom-piece together the perfect musicians to match the style or styles of music you enjoy or require for a venue or themed party. Some musicians are good at jazz, some at pop, and some at Latin or rock, but they rarely excel at all styles. When you hire a band, you get what “they” like to play instead of what you want to hear.
4) I can read the room. I know when to ramp up the musical energy and when to take it down a notch.
5) Music is more than a job; it is my life. I am a full-time musician, so I work harder and care more.
