Brian Walker

The Story behind the man:Brian Walker picked up the guitar for the first time in December 2004 and will release his debut album sometime in 2009. Here's how it all happened...Originally from Philadelphia, Brian had traveled the world from 1994-2000. Along the way, he met Lance Barber, an actor who encouraged Brian to settle in Chicago and to begin a career in acting and performing.Brian moved to Chicago into Lance's apartment building and eventually was picked up by Lance's agent. He then waited on his ass for a few years hoping for auditions. Brian says, "During this period, I became friendly with a musician called Charlie King. He told me that I could really sing and brought me my first guitar. I instantly became addicted. Soon I realized that creating music and performing live are my true passions in life." Brian quickly moved forward and honed his craft. In 2005 Brian financed and recorded a 4 song demo in the studio, writing and performing all of his own material.One thing has rapidly led to another and within the last 2 years Brian has become a staple at many Chicago area bars and cafes. Through these electric performances, Brian has met quite a few talented musicians, some of whom are now recording with him. This coming spring he will release his debut album...
