Brian Bland

Brian Bland’s music can be described as a dynamic mixture of American Stomp Rock and drifting down tempo melodies invoking such artists as The Bottle Rockets, Neil Young, Will Johnson and Damien Rice. With ideas gathered from the rural roads of the South as well as the metropolitan streets of the Northeast, Brian delivers original songs about life, love and loss with simplicity and authenticity ... and he might even throw in a couple of banjo tunes for good measure! Brian has spent the last 20 years constructing songs while working in the foothills of North Carolina and recording and performing in the venues of New York City and Philadelphia PA. These travels have inspired him to craft songs ranging from powerful, jangly progressions on the electric guitar, to whisper quiet, emotional and sometimes humorous acoustic offerings. Now, as a Wilmington NC native, Brian is back to finish things conjured years ago, and to present a unique voice to contemporary songwriting.
