"Bassist with Soul"
Brian started playing bass as a teenager and
was soon playing with local talents at night clubs and events in his
native north S.F. bay area.
After serving in the U.S. Navy, Brian
went back to playing bass. Brian along with long-time friends and
collaborators Glen Nichols and Frank Cox, formed the Blues/Rock
group "No XQS".
While playing at a local night-spot Brian met
Twanna and soon after Twanna joined the group. Brian and Twanna have
been performing and recording together ever since.
In 1999 Brian
took on bass duties with the group "My Brother's Band" on their
record "Part of the Process" also singing lead on the song "Without
You".
Brian enjoys traveling and playing with various groups,
but he loves performing with Twanna most of all.
"THE BOTTOM END IS THE SOUL OF ANY SONG."
I am living proof that music can heal the body, after suffering a stroke in 2001 I lost a significant amount of control and strength of the right side of my body.
I would have given up right then but for the grace of my Lord and the diligent efforts of Twanna to keep me re-training my right hand dexterity and strength.
Most of that training
came in the form of playing music. I had to start out easy and with the patience of Twanna and my fellow bandmates I was soon back to full form.
..Now singing is a different story, I still sound like a drunk sailor on shore leave but, I've always sounded like that. lol
