Brian has been making music in Phoenix, AZ  since 2003.  He has several projects: Live from Laurel Canyon, The Sweet Remains, his original band The Project and his work as a solo singer/songwriter.

THE PROJECT…

is an original 5-piece band of some of the best musicians in AZ.  The band has released multiple albums and plays some really beautiful stages including The MIM Music Theater, The Chandler Center for the Arts, Tempe Center for the Arts, Scottsdale Center for the Arts, Rhythm Room, Valley Bar and Crescent Ballroom.  In this band, Brian is the sole songwriter, lead singer and acoustic guitar player.  The Project features world class musicians Mario Mendivil, Adam Armijo, Lamar Gaines, and Todd Chuba.

LIVE FROM LAUREL CANYON…

started as an idea after Brian completed a three month stint performing on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean in the Summer of 2012.  After doing extensive research Brian wrote the narration for the show and then teamed up with his partner Mike Florio to bring the show to audiences.  Live from Laurel Canyon tells the story of the Canyon and the legendary singer/songwriters who lived there.  Starting with the Mamas and the Papas “California Dreamin'” and ending with the Eagles “Hotel California” the show careens through the hits of the of the 1960s and 1970s.  Part story telling and part musical performance, Live from Laurel Canyon continues to amaze fans of this timeless music.  For more information about this show, please visit www.livefromlaurelcanyon.com.
