Bio:
Initially classically trained, experiencing blues and rock & roll in the early 1960's was, for Brian, equivalent to Saint Paul on the road to Damascus. He cut his teeth in the London club scene during those halcyon years of the mid to late 1960's - as an audience member in venues such as Les Cousins, on Greek Street in Soho, listening to and learning from legendary musicians such as Al Stewart, Davey Graham, Wizz Jones, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and John Martyn.
Moving to New York in 1968, he studied painting, drawing and photography and entered the musical world of clubs, festivals, concert halls and the ubiquitous college circuit. During this period, in addition to a partnership in a successful live music club in Greenwich Village, he toured in every State of the Union except Hawaii, spending time also in Canada and Mexico. In addition to playing on the folk circuit in venues such as Gerde's Folk City, Cafe Wha'? and The Gaslight, he was also in one of the first bands to regularly perform in Hilly Cristal's CBGB's, on The Bowery, sharing the stage with Blondie, Talking Heads, The Ramones and Television whilst recording on the Adelphi label.
Returning to Europe in 1979, Brian toured internationally, recording on the Highway and Topic labels. During this time, he lived firstly in Copenhagen, then in Amsterdam, followed by Paris and London. It was, to quote Hemingway, 'A Moveable Feast'.
In the mid 1990's he relocated, with his family, to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he worked with some excellent musicians and technicians, along the way assisting Sir George Martin on his film "Rhythms of Life".
So far, as a solo artist, Brian has completed a five-track EP entitled "Paint the Town", followed by a full twelve-track album entitled "Everything Takes Forever". Before leaving Brazil he recorded three tracks for an EP entitled "Hold On To The Night".
He has also recently completed an LP entitled "Time & Tide', alongside other music referencing his influences entitled 'Roots & Branches'.
These days, Brian mostly divides his time between music, painting and photography.
Recently, Brian received a Masters degree in painting and hopes, one day, to get to Hawaii...

Bio:
Music fan all my life, I've been earning a living as a dj since 1979, worked 14 years in Radio with top Montreal radio station CKOI, was music director for the Quebec equivalent of MTV called MusiquePlus, worked to build the French Canadian service of XM satellite radio here in Canada, been a consultant for different music project, was product manager for a large indie music distributor Distribution SELECT, worked with Beggars Group while, was a DJ for pro sports team in Montréal (Expos-baseball and Alouettes-Footbal) for over 20 seasons and now I'm music and editorial director for ZIK.ca a Canadian streaming site like Sporify, making music is a hobby for me. I don't consider myself a musician more of a composer arranger, I use other people talents (friends and loops and samples) to create my compositions and always look for talent to help me complete my tracks because I feel they are works in progress.
If you have not done one before, here is how it works. Create your spookiest or funniest Halloween Song you can. You have plenty of time to get it done and also enough time to find other artists to work with if you want to collaborate. Vocals are not required so do not feel like you have to have them in.
Obviously the due date will be Oct 31st but if at all possible, let's try and get them in by October 25th. This will give our DJ's plenty of time to get them added into their shows. When you upload them, please use a genre of "Halloween 2014" so we can find them easy. I will see if I can get some added from prior years so you can have a listen and get some ideas.
Please post if you have any questions!!
