MH: Brian, thank you very much for giving me
                                              this  opportunity  to  talk  to you about you  and
                                              your  music  endeavors.  Please  share  with  our
                                              readers who you are and what you’re all about.

                                              BB:  Aside  from  entertaining  people  with a  wide
                                              variety of songs, I'm all about communicating and
                                              connecting with people of all ages on a personal
                                              level through the lyrics that express situations and
                                              lessons learned that people could relate to. I often
                                              end the songs in a positive, uplifting light.

                                              MH:  How  would  you  describe  your  style  of
                                              playing and music?

                                              BB: Well, there are two styles, in a sense. There's
                                              the band music that is rock and blues, and there's
                                              the  solo  project  that  is  Americana, which  is  what
                                              this CD is based upon. I write the songs for both
                                              bands, and in most of my songs, I incorporate many
                                              unique changes and encrypted poetry, which is the
                                              common thread throughout both musical styles.

                                              MH: I understand that you have several music
                                              projects. How are they different in sound and
                                              style?

                                              BB: They are completely different. The band has a
                                              drummer,  a  bass,  and  lead  guitarist,  so  we  play
                                              more hard rock and blues, and the solo project has
                                              the same bass guitarist with an added violinist and
                                              vocalist, which portrays the Americana music on a
                                              softer  scale.  It  is  interesting  to  hear  some of
                                              the songs played by both bands in their own style,
                                              like  ‘Wildflower,’  ‘Juke  Box,’ and  ‘My  Way
                                              Home.’ The band is coming out with a CD in the
                                              coming weeks. I would love the opportunity to share
                                              that  music  with  your  readers  when  it is released,
                                              perhaps in time for your next publication.
