| Brian Kane -- Guitar |
||
| I have been working steadily as a band leader and sideman for over a decade. In addition to playing locally, I have also perfomed and recorded with Victoria Williams and Mark Olson. My playing has been influenced by greats like Kenny Burrell, Oscar Moore, and Les Paul. I love the great innovators of the electric guitar, and try to live up to their standards! For booking information please contact me at brian@browsebriankane.com or click on the email link in the margin. I'm available for club dates, festivals, casuals, weddings, private events -- you name it!!! Here are some MP3s of various bands and musicians I have worked with regularly, as well as a few unusual oddities and curiosities. |

THE JASON MYERS TRIO - This is a sophisticated trio with an unusual instrumentation: piano, guitar and bass. We have a huge repertoire and try to give each tune a unique arrangement. Much of the inspiration comes from Nat King Cole, George Shearing, Oscar Peterson, et al. Check out Jason's website at www.keyplayermusic.com. |

| Honeysuckle Rose - a nice arrangement. Check out the last chorus! |

VICTORIA WILLIAMS - I've been blessed to record and perform with Victoria Williams. She's one of the best songwriters I've ever heard, with an absolutely unique style and voice. The first two tracks come from Victoria Williams Sings Some Ol' Songs, a record she and I co-produced over a few years. Check out Victoria at www.creekdipper.com. |
||
| Blue Skies - we gave this old classic a dark and moody treatment. | ||
