A lifelong resident of the San Luis valley and avid enjoyer of all forms of music, Brian prides himself on his stylistic versatility in playing bass. After a tentative start with bass and guitar at 17, encouragement from his mother pushed him to further expand his love of music to playing bass in college. Alongside his other studies, Brian both played with Adams State University's jazz ensemble for most of his college career, and performed with rock and blues band Maggie Rains and The Crooked Keys. In 2018 he was able to accompany SLV legend Don Richmond in ASU jazz ensemble, and open for the Allman Bretts Band at FIBark with Maggie Rains. Brian aspires to continue on his journey to becoming a better bass player and overall musician, while still maintaining his broad skills in computer science and visual arts. Eli Dokson (Lead Guitar)
Eli loves to play guitar and make music with his friends! He’s been doing it in southern Colorado for a lot of years and in Washington state before that. He can also be heard performing with Blue Rooster and Waverly Road.
