Hi, I'm Brian!

I'm a twenty-something musician living in Rochester, NY who loves to perform at local breweries, bars, restaurants, festivals colleges and more around Western New York.  I play a variety of acoustic tunes and crowd-pleasing covers ranging from Pop, Alternative Rock, Feel-Good Oldie Bops and even the occasional Hip-Hop. As a bonus, I write and perform a few of my own songs, too! 

I started learning guitar and playing music as a teenager, primarily so I could just jam out to all of my favorite songs from the radio and maybe impress a girl or two. But once college came around, I realized I wanted to do more than just sing for my friends. I wanted to connect with people through music. I love how performing allows me to reflect, express, and bond with new people, especially while bringing smiles or head bops to strangers who need it. I'm grateful for all of the connections and experiences I've been able to share with this outlet and I only hope that one day I'll get to perform for as many people as possible. 

When I'm not at a Gig, I'm passionate about being a lifelong learner while also preparing our next generation of students for success! While I'm sure my classroom doesn't appreciate my lame dad jokes, I'm sure they’ll someday appreciate a thing or two that I’ve taught them about English or being a better person.

Both music and education consume my world, but my absolute favorite things in the universe are my family and friends. I especially love playing husband to my incredible wife, Jenna, and taking care of our four-legged fur-baby, Gatsby the Cat(sby).
