Some of those stories can be meaningful and still be fun. I never write a song that I think myself or other folks can’t relate to in some way, shape, or form. My music will always reflect who I am and where I am at that time in my life.” Brian’s influences include Keith Urban, Kip Moore, Ryan Adams, Cheap Trick and Social Distortion.
