Experienced, Professional, Reliable

-Most recently, 5 years as soloist with Carnival Cruise Lines. These years were great for learning ship life, hospitality experience, and perfecting soloist performances.

-After a childhood filled with music and bands, Brian spent 10 years touring with Top 40 shows, performing in hotels and resorts all over the USA and Canada. Following those years he was a member of top regional groups where he lived in Minnesota and Seattle, performing at festivals, casinos, concerts and special events. While being a full-time musician, Brian spent 8 years writing a self-help book, Balance Your Choices Balance Your Life, published in 1998 in USA, India and Nepal.

-Brian is a U.S.A. citizen with passport valid until 2021. 

My Objectives

-I'm seeking a position with a cruise line, or perhaps a hotel or other entertainment venue. I'm available immediately or for contract in the future.

-I hope to find a great fit with interesting itineraries or location. 

-A long-term career move with repeat contracts would be most welcome. 

-I'm confident in a variety of settings. I'm open to options, but ultimately

I would love to use all of my soloist skills on acoustic and electric guitar, with and without backing tracks. 

-I would prefer a single cabin/room. 

-One of my personal objectives is to always be reliable. If I have a contract I will be there as agreed.  And in my five years as soloist, performing 6 days per week, I was never sick or absent.
