Hi! Thanks for stopping by my website. I will try to keep it updated regularly, but the music comes before the website, and sometimes there's an awful lot of it that I have to do.
PRESS KIT BIO:
Brian Peters began formal training on the violin at 13 years old, studying classical music and playing in community orchestras and string quartets. A growing interest in other styles of music led him to learn a number of new instruments in the years that followed, including guitar and bass, the latter of which becoming the main instrument of his career. In the same time period, after hot-wiring two tape decks together to record himself playing multiple instrument parts at once, an obsession with audio engineering and creating records was born.
At 26 years old, Brian has worked on over 50 records as a musician, producer, or engineer. His career as a multi-instrumentalist has also grown, playing guitar, bass, violin, theremin, oboe, duduk, clarinet, nadaswaram, shehnai, mukhavina, tin whistle, piano, and blul.
He is currently a member of seven time Grammy winner Paul Wertico's groups, Paul Wertico Trio and Paul Wertico's Mid-East/Mid-West Alliance, and has worked on 15 records with Paul since 2003. He has also produced two records for critically acclaimed guitarist, John Moulder.
Brian is the engineer and co-host of Paul Wertico's radio show, "Paul Wertico's Wild World of Jazz" which airs every Sunday night from 9pm-11pm on WLFM 87.7 FM.
In 2007, Brian released his first solo record in over 5 years, entitled "Ampersand".
In addition to making records, Brian has played weekly with liturgical composer Rory Cooney for 12 years. In 2002, along with The Opposition guitarist Jeff Kranz, Brian created the underground fictional band, Grand Theft Marmot, as well as the lampoon websites, www.worldwidewebside.com and www.grandtheftmarmot.com Brian has been a member of the 70s styled Brian Fife and Band for 11 years. Brian is an active member of independent film group, Gang Entertainment, and has scored multiple films for other independent filmmakers. He has also done soundtrack work for various corporate jingles and promotional videos.
In addition to strictly musical roles, Brian has worked as a video editor for a number of projects, as well as an independent screenwriter.
