Brian started his foray into music with the alto horn and sousaphone in the sixth grade. When offered the chance to try and learn string bass he readily accepted. Liking the string bass, but finding it difficult to haul around and wanting to play rock ‘n roll music, his first electric bass appeared in 1967.

After his first public performance with the school folk group in seventh grade, playing the bass guitar became a lifelong hobby.

Playing in the Newark, Delaware high School Jazz Band took him to many jazz band competitions and several top awards.

There was always a garage band in the works to satisfy the need to play and perform.

Brian has played a variety of music over the years, jazz, blues and of course rock n’ roll with several bands, but the biggest thrill is when the people he is playing for are dancing and singing to the music. “That's what it’s all about” says Brian, “playing for the crowd!”
