Brian - Rhythmic Melodic Mayhem and the Occasional Vocal Outburst

Brian started his musical career playing the drums in 1970 and played his first paid gig by the age of 14. Eventually switching to guitar, Brian has been playing professionally on a continuous basis since 1977. Through the years, Brian has played with numerous bands in a variety of settings that include hard rock power trios, jazz standards for cocktail parties, and dance band music for night clubs, weddings and proms. Past bands include Driver, Sequence, Skyband, Killer Whale and TVC15 (David Bowie tribute band). Most notably as a member of long established Delaware horn band Whale from 1985 to 2000, Brian has opened for such performers as Dave Mason, The Guess Who, Average White Band and Tower of Power. Currently, in addition to playing with The Lazy Eyed Blues Band and doing occasional home recording projects, Brian continues playing trio gigs with Acoustic Axis (founded in 2004) with best buds Dave & Rick.
