Brian Smalley - Brian lives in Clermont, Florida. Where is Brian from? That's a trickier question to
answer. By the time he turned 18 his family had moved all across the country more than twenty times. So, it’s
no surprise that wander-lust found its way into Brian's soul, as well as into his music.
His first guitar at age 9 became his best friend, and all that traveling opened up a whole world to explore and
create in. Along the way many influences were caught in his musical-dragnet.
The songs Brian has written borrow from folksy finger-style guitar and new-grass as well as a touch of new-age
acoustic music. He sings with a soulful, earthy yet energetic voice and his live performances tend to be just
that: Lively! For the past eighteen years Brian has made music his sole occupation, and has four home-spun CDs
under his belt: 'Songs You Can Sing To Your Dog', 'Mangrove Run', 'Off Season', and his latest 'Jumper Creek is Dry'.
A great many of the songs are set in and inspired by Florida, a state of mind and a state of nature that he
loves to write about and longs to see preserved. For Brian, the wander-lust continues and he is willing to
travel anywhere to perform and hopefully inspire a little love and peace along the way.
