SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm Brian and I am here in Phoenix looking for some legitimately dedicated musicians. I've pretty much devoted my entire life to music and guitar and wouldn't have it any other way. I have been playing guitar since I was about 10 years old, and I spent the last ten years playing in various bands and building/repairing guitars in Oakland, CA. and San Francisco. I got my BAS in Audio Engineering and I went to school for building guitars. This isn't just a hobby for me, it's quite literally my life and I am hoping to find some musicians who feel the same way. I love all kinds of music and enjoy getting out of my comfort zone and playing and creating new sounds and genres. I don't just want to do the whole cheesy "coffee shop" thing. I have played many gigs, and toured with a couple of local Oakland bands, and I just moved to Phoenix to continue this. If you are a serious musician who is looking to do something real, raw and new feel free to contact me. I don't do cover/tribute bands and I don't to the whole cheesy acoustic coffee shop thing. I want to play real music with other people who really live for this.
