What I've Been Playing Lately

I've been spending more time concentrating on solo guitar compositions instead of vocal arraingments.  I hope you enjoy them as I will soon be performing at Farmers Markets and other Colorado venues.

First Gig in 18 months 

It has been a tough 18 months for everyone but especially musicians.  I just had my first gig at the City of Loveland Farmers Market at Railroad Park.  

It was a great experience to perform again and I hope to be there again soon.

 

A Special Moment at the Greeley Farmers Market 

I was half way through my second set on Saturday at the Greeley Farmers Market and I had just started playing Classical Gas.  A family walked by with 3 young children.  The youngest child, who I am guessing was maybe 4 years old, broke free from her father and ran up to my Crate Street EX amplifier, which sits on the ground, and hugged the amplifier smiling a huge grin on her face.  It was obvious that this young girl had serious vision issues (and possibly other issues) judging from the weirdness of her…

Happy New Year 2019 

Happy New Year!

It's cold here in Colorado (11 degrees for a high today) but this year is starting off great.  I have upcoming performances in January and more in the works for the rest of the year.

I am working on some more new pieces and hope to have them under my fingers soon.

The new sound system I recently purchased is drawing rave reviews for its clarity and its ability to project the sound with minimal volume, which is great because I don't like to perform at Rock and Roll volumes.

So check out the…

Friday Night at Sweet Heart Winery 

This Friday, September 7th, give yourself a break and go to Sweet Heart Winery on Route 34 west of Loveland, to relax and taste some fine wines and listen to yours truly play solo guitar music from 6pm to 8pm.  It's a great way to let the stress of everyday life disappear.

See you there!

2018 Update 

They year is off to a good start.  I had a great time performing at the Sweet Heart Winery in Loveland and the audience enjoyed the show while they tasted the various fine wines vented at the winery.

 

  I also had fun performing at the Loveland Museum for the opening of the Innate Confluences exhibit.  This is an interactive art exhibit and is great fun.  Be sure to check it out.

I am working on my summer performance schedule and I will be at many Farmers Markets in the Front Range area.  Be sure to…

Snowed Out! 

     My 2017 Farmers Market World Tour was supposed to kick off this morning with a gig at the Drake Road Farmers Market.  Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other ideas as the temperature dropped into the 20's and it snowed and snowed and snowed.  The Farmers Market was cancelled, which is the first time I have heard of a market being cancelled due to winter weather.  How very Coloradoan.

    Next up is Sunday May 7th from 11am to 3 pm at the Harmony Farmers Market in Fort Collins.  Come on out for great…

Spring 2017 is here! 

     We are having an early spring here in Colorado, and I have come out of hibernation.  I  spent the winter working on new material, both original pieces and cover tunes.  I  also assembled a collection of music composed by other solo guitarists.  I look forward to playing this new music for you soon.

2016 Farmers Market World Tour Continues 

Brian's 2016 Farmers Market World Tour continues at the Larimer County Farmers market held on Oak Street In downtown Ft. Collins.  See calendar for more details.

Last week I spent a beautiful Sunday morning at the Loveland Farmers Market.  The weather was perfect as were the fruits, vegies, meats and other products that the vendors had for sale. 

I hope to see you Saturday at the Larimer County Farmers Market.

Summer with 6 strings 

     It's that wonderful warm time of the year when it's great to be outdoors and it's great to play guitar outdoors.  I just finished practicing guitar on my front porch while occasionally glancing up to catch a glimpse of Long's Peak and the other 14ers I can see.  It is very inspiring.  I wonder if I could see my house from Long's Peak.  I think I would need a great pair of binoculars to see that far and a house this small.

     I'm working on learning more solo guitar instrumentals by guitarists such…

It's Been A While 

Hello again.  It's been a long time since I've posted any blogs.  A lot longer than I thought.

Much has happened in the guitar world.  Not so much in my life though.  I am continuing to learn new music and trying to figure out my sweet spot in the musical world.  I have had the opportunity to listen to a few of my idea tapes from decades past and was surprised to hear how my musical pieces have developed over time, and even found some old original compositions that I had totally forgotten.  I have…
