Rumor has it this guy has at least 12 fingers.... ON EACH HAND!!  While this did prove a hardship for Brian as a child (Brian's mother had to specially design and knit his winter mittens), it has made it possible for Brian to produce waves of sound both rhythmically and harmonically from the keyboard!

Brian started his career at age 18, performing with various club and show bands before going solo in 1983.  After years of playing piano bars and small clubs for patrons who would come to the bar to watch TV, Brian decided to try his hand at something else.   However, since there was no place to play his original blend of Latin/Country/Acid/Punk music in Wisconsin, Brian got a "REAL" job during the day while visions of rhythm and blues danced through his dreams.

Then it happened!  The Groove Hogs called him.  They needed a key-"board" player.  Brian thought they needed a key-"broad" player and he instantly joined the band.  By the time he realized his mistake, he was hooked on the pulse of the sound that fly's from any stage that "the Groove Hogs" play on.
