If the list of performers who have wanted Brian to play for them isn’t impressive enough, then perhaps some quotes will help. Janet Hans of San Antonio’s Urban Campfires Concert Series, calls Brian “…intelligent… clever… a monster on guitar.” Jack Silverman of Nashville Scene says “…an excellent guitarist and thoughtful singer-songwriter.” Maverick Magazine says "Brian's new CD is a master class on how to play the guitar.” And the quote most important to this show comes from KPFT Radio in Houston: “…a stellar guitar player, lyricist and songwriter… Brian’s live show is a must see!”
