About Me

I am a full time musician in the Tampa Bay area. Currently I am recording my first record due out in the fall of 2008. I hope to have some distribution soon for the release. Music is a constant in my life. I can always look to it for inspiration. In my early twenties, I learned some songs and began playing open mic shows around town. I soon met other musicians to jam with and we formed a band called “Barrellhouse”. We played anything that felt good. Originals, Blues, Classic Rock, and Alternative tunes. Soon after developing some worthwhile original material, I moved on to a solo career. Eventually I joined a band named “Betty’s Not a Vitamin”. After two years of playing small clubs, a few large shows, such as opening for “The Blue Oyster Cult”, and a couple close deals, we eventually went our separate ways. I continued playing local beach bars like “Frenchy’s Rockaway” where I met a local legend Sal Belloise who took me under his wing and allowed me to play with him and learn more about music. In 2001, I joined forces with virtuoso acoustic guitarist Chuck McClure as “The Acoustikats”. Playing full time in the Tampa Bay area has allowed me to constantly improve my abilities like writing, singing and playing better guitar. I hope you all enjoy the music that has come from the depths of my soul. It is important for me to share my efforts with those willing to lend an ear. Thanks, Brian.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

"The Tire Man"

This song is my dedication to my father. You see, my father did his best to support us by selling and disposing of used tires in our humble state of Kentucky for most of my life. For me, the subj...

"Tempe" and the passing of a friend, "Sluggo"

This is one of my favorite songs I have been able to record. It has such a good vibe and I owe a lot to those who contributed to it. One of which was a wealth of talent in Doug "Sluggo" Tercotte. His ...
