About

It's hard to find a band Brian Zalo hasn't performed in around Vancouver!
Ask him about the time his band 'Steelhorse' were in the movie 'Floating
Away' with Crocodile Dundee's Paul Hogan as well as Rosanna Arquette.
Later on his band Smith and Jones album went #4 in Australia & they sure had a great time!
Ask him about opening for Motley Crue, Big & Rich, Johnny Cash, Steve Miller, Brad Paisley
& on & on! His storied career is almost hard to imagine, but working with local
agents, promoters & producers have helped Brian get his musical
performances all over Canada. Festival Highlights include Merritt Mountain
Music Festival, PNE Concert Series with Elvis Presley's Guitarist ( James Burton ) The Calgary
Stampede & Mission Riverfest.
Brian is a true talent both with his many bands & as a solo performer.
Often called "The Voice" due to his strong present and resonate style.
His passion is playing music as often as possible. Expect to hear covers of The
Beatles, Rolling Stones, Eagles, Keith Urban, Guess Who, Styx.. and many many styles in between.
He also takes requests and will gladly play them if he knows them.

"We're really happy to be able to work with a humble guy like Brian who's
dedicated his career to perfecting guitar & helping local music grow" -
