Brian McKenzie

Brian is a singer songwriter who takes elements of the
country/roots blend
of Americana and adds his clean, smooth vocal style to
create a sound once
described by a club owner as "Ameri-Crooner". He draws
on influences that
range from recent artists such as Chris Isaak, Ryan
Adams, Pete Yorn, and
Glen Phillps to classic voices like Dean Martin, Bobby
Darin, Elvis Presley,
Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. Rather than simply
emulate these artists and
styles, however, Brian blends them together like a
cocktail shaker would
seamlessly meld separate ingredients into a cohesive,
well mixed drink that
you can easily get lost in. - See more
