What to Expect
Performance Stage
Brian Curran has been studying blues and fingerstyle guitar for over 20 years. He keeps his feet planted firmly in the sounds of the past but is not afraid to put his own stamp on the music he loves.
Brian has performed at some of the area's top venues including Off Broadway, The Pageant, B.B.'s Jazz Blues & Soups and many more. Brian is also not just a one man show. In addition to playing solo, he is well known as a duo with Adam Andrews on harmonica.
Brian also travels regionally. On stage Brian puts on a great show and always gets the audience involved. He is known to sometimes tell as many stories and jokes to the listeners as songs. Altogether, whether solo or with a band, you can't go wrong no matter what your taste in music might be. Going to see Brian is just a plain old fun time. Learn more about Brian here.
Brian will be joined by Terre Haute favorites Brent McPike and Solly Burton to present a duo set and a collaborative jam session.
