From Cat Stevens to Jay-Z, Brian Bauers experiments with all kinds of music. Don't mistake him for just another cover / bar musician, though. When you see him live, his personal sound creeps into the covers, which is enough to help listeners re-discover even their own favorite songs.
Here's what other people have to say about Brian:
"Bauers clearly likes to approach rock from multiple angles, which gives him a style-bouncing eclecticism that offsets his pop ambitions."
-Sabu Reyes Kulkarni, Rochester City News
"Brian Bauers delivers his well-written lyrics with passion and arranges and plays his music with an understated maturity,"
"Now would be the time to catch Brian Bauers and (his band) The WMDs, as they sound as fresh and vital as they are focused"
-New York Press
