Hailing from Antigonish Nova Scotia, Brian grew up listening to and learning Celtic and folk music. As a teenager in the seventies rock and country sparked an even greater interest and by the age of eighteen, was playing his first professional gig. He has continued to perform on a full time and part time basis since then, and continues to build and reshape his repertoire. The release of his first original CD in 2013 was a highlight of his career and a second project is well under way.
