Brian has accompanied a diverse batch of artists on stage and in the recording studio including Grammy Award winning songwriter Jon Vezner, Nashville Songwriters Hall Of Fame inductee Jerry Foster, Kimberley Dahme of the iconic rock band Boston, Caroline Aiken, Alice Wallace, Sara Hickman, Donna Hopkins, David Gans (Grateful Dead Hour), Corinne West, Jeff Black, Ralph Roddenbery, Deep Blue Sun, Celeste Krenz, Wyatt Easterling, and Spuyten Duyvil, just to name a few.
If the list of performers who have wanted Brian to play for them isn’t impressive enough, then perhaps some quotes will help. Janet Hans of San Antonio’s Urban Campfires Concert Series, calls Brian “…intelligent… clever… a monster on guitar.” Jack Silverman of Nashville Scene says “…an excellent guitarist and thoughtful singer-songwriter.” Maverick Magazine says "Brian's new CD is a master class on how to play the guitar.” And the quote most important to this show comes from KPFT Radio in Houston: “…a stellar guitar player, lyricist and songwriter… Brian’s live show is a must see!”
