Power-Poppin', Booty Rockin' Mutha-Scratcher

About Me

Philanthropist; Master of the art of origami; puppeteer; assassin; horse whisperer; half-man, half-monkey; robot in disguise; Olympic Gold Medalist; undead; much larger in person; partially transparent; steel-drivin' man; the feel-good movie of the summer; adorable child star; former Beatle; delicious and lowfat; flame retardant; heavyweight champion of the world.None of these things describe me, but, I suppose they'd be pretty cool.I'm just Bri. I play guitar for the band JammSammich. I write and sing songs when the spirit moves me. I go to church on Sundays. Love my wife and kids. Eat, breathe and LIVE music. I love being a part of Peoria's music scene and appreciate all of the area's musicians regardless of style or level of technical difficulty of their music.I beleive that laughter is the fabric of our existence, more important than all 4 food groups and therapeutic on many levels. If you've not laughed today, immediately watch and episode of "The Office", read one of Woody Allen's plays or see "The 40 Year-Old Virgin"I gravitate toward things that excite my passion - good food, good wine, interesting people, groove, beautiful scenery, mojo, history. and good debate.Hope you're having as much fun as I am!
