Come share some fabulous music and friendship at this Session!

Brian Carroll – “Raised on a healthy dose of Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Grateful Dead, Dylan and The Band thanks to his old man, gave him a respect for musicianship and a good song. Playing in a variety of blues and rock n’roll bands through the younger years of life forged an appreciation for musicians creating music through improvisation and true feeling. It was, however, in college where he picked up a mandolin and found the bluegrass and country roots sound which his style most sonically emulates today. Incorporating inspiration from legendary roots musicians Hank Sr., Doc Watson and Johnny Cash with his love of modern day songwriters and musicians such as Chris Thile, Ryan Adams, Jason Isbell and his closest friends that he gets to play with regularly, Brian spins a web of music that is part storyteller, part improvisational blues and bluegrass musicianship, but all emotion and heart.”

Here is a video of Ian Fitzgerald and Brian Carroll performing together: “Michigan“.
