About Me

Frontman for Angels Look Down, Brian Ward recently departed from his college band 'October' and post-college project 'Old Phoebe' with Berklee grad Dan Shanahan. Sleepyhouse now serves as Brian's primary creative outlet/band.Brian grew up in a small farm town in Northwestern Ohio. He moved to Columbus to attend Capital University, studying voice. He eventually graduated in Marketing, Management and a minor in Music. Brian is now set to begin his PsyD. in the Fall, most likely in Chicago.Growing up with Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Better than Ezra, Dishwalla, and the like - Sleepyhouse can be initially classified as Melodic/Folk Rock/Acoustic, but can taken by any influence at the time, from Josh Rouse and the Innocence Mission to Copeland and Dashboard. Somewhere in between, he hopes to make a sound of his own.Profile edited with: CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor
