ABOUT US
BRIAN KIRK
Part musician, part singer, part comedian.
Brian comes from a family of musicians - both his father and brother were band leaders.
​
Brian is actually a self-taught musician stemming from his drive to impress the girls in high school. In fact, he used to play in basement parties with a tip cup in front of him.
​
He has come a long way since those days and is amazed that he gets to make a living playing music and celebrate some of the most joyous occasions of people's lives.
He is equally amazed by the talent that he surrounds himself with every day.
Likes: visiting local venues to hear our local talent, creating music with his kids, and feeding his chickens & guinea pigs.
​
Dislikes: being away from home too long, lead singers that say "Don't forget to tip your bartenders", and coconuts.
