Some thoughts on where Music has taken me, both in Body and Mind.
As I was sitting down to do some desk work yesterday on the evening I returned from performing a private wedding event up in the Catskills Mountains in Big Indian, NY, I had a lot of thoughts on my mind and felt the need to write them out. I was able to, and wanted to share them all with you here: On my way to the venue, I passed through Woodstock, and saw t
A most busy Summer 2017 winds on down
There was a time maybe about 8-10 years ago where I took an unintended hiatus from public performance. I was still writing and recording song demos at home, but I just wasn't actively out performing in really any capacity save for a few speckled gigs here and there. When I jumped back into playing out and diving head first back into the Long Island music sce
Septummer/Summtember: A Summary of Sept. 2017's happenings
Hello out there again folks, So Summer has wound on down a bit, yet the weather around here on Long Island still stayed pretty "Summerish" in the past few weeks. I've been interchangeably using #Septummer & #Summtember on my social media posts as a way to refer to this reluctance Mother Nature has shown in handing over the reigns to Autumn. Unfortunately, an
Yeah!-vember: Reflecting With Thanks on a Most Busy and Musical Autumn 2017
Hello out there to everyone in internet land! It's been a few weeks since I've sat down to write up a blog post for my webspace, and that's for good reason. While I thought that my schedule would be slowing down a little bit as it often does in the Autumn months and into the Winter, this year seemed to have alternate plans. My October days were filled with p
Fare Thee Well 2017, You’ve Been Good To Me
The year Two Thousand and Seventeen was quite a mixed bag. On one hand, the whole world around us was experiencing a lot of change. Some yelling "Hooray for our side", others, not so much. On the other hand, even though things got a bit foggy and exhausting here and there, there was still music. And plenty of it. I think it goes without saying, but thank goo
The Shortest Month Left Me Short Of Sleep: A Recap Of A Most Busy February 2018
It's often said that for working musicians, that the Winter months are the "off months". The common idea is that artists get booked less in these months because there's more audiences are more receptive to head out to a show once the weather is warmer, the daylight hours are longer, and they don't have a fear of running into any undesired travel conditions.
Bryan featured on The Long Island Music Spotlight video series
Howdy all, A few weeks back I paid a visit to the good folks working with Blue Owl Arts (in conjunction with the Patchogue Arts Council) to be a guest on the Long Island Music Spotlight video series. I performed “Karna”, “When Wallflowers Bloom”, "Waitress On Call", “All These Pretty Girls” (all from The Party Guest) and also “County Fair” (which has yet to
Gettin' on those Steppin' Shoes: A recap of March 2018
If you happened to read through my recap of February 2018, you'll already know that I managed to wind up with an average of one show for every three days out of that month. I happened to get an extra three days in March, and also had a few less performance dates. I knew I needed to leave myself some extra time as opposed to what I had in February due to the
Spring show-er-s bring. The Happy Recap of April 2018
The beginning few months of my 2018 performance schedule wound up being atypically busy, as both February and March had close to ten shows scheduled for each month. Thankfully, April slowed down just a little bit, but still allowed the time for me to be part of some memorable performances. Below is The “happy recap” of a few notable shows from April 2018: *
Montauk Music Fest 2018: “The End” of the Spring and the start of my Summer
I’ve been part of the lineup for the Montauk Music Festival a few years running now, but this year marked a few “firsts” for me at the fest, It was the first time I performed solo, as I usually perform with a backing group for the fest, and it was also the firs year that I played multiple sets throughout the weekend. While I did miss the “extra muscle” of ha
Keepin' Cool while things are Heating Up: A Recap of June 2018
I always look forward to the time of the year where we gain some more daylight hours. I definitely feel I become a little more productive, and have a bit more "pep in my step". I suppose the Sunshine will do that for ya. I'm not the biggest fan of the heat though, but luckily for me June of 2018 saw some extended Spring weather along with those longer daylig
2018 In Review, and looking forward to 2019
2018 was quite the eventful year for me musically. According to my count, I had 84 solo performances and 9 total with the full band. I had several shows that were song swaps/“In The Round” events sharing the stage with some other great Songwriters. I had a handful of shows that saw me cross the bridges off of Long Island and perform in the Garden State (with
2022 in Review, and Rolling on into 2023
Two thousand twenty two wound up being quite an eventful year for me. Seventy three gigs total, with three of them being private performances (two baby showers and a fundraiser for a very worthy cause on Fire Island). I got a chance to perform to hundreds of people at the Suffolk Theater’s All For Ukraine Benefit (sharing the stage with some musical legends
2023 In Review, and Looking Through to 2024
As it turns out 2023 was quite the eventful year for me. There were 52 public musical performance dates on the calendar, and there were plenty of other times I was making music happen as well. I had two shows at The Tilles Center’s Atrium space that served as bookends for the year, played a few Long Island based festivals, and was even enlisted to serve as E
