FRIDAY May 11th:
Brian Belknap Album Release with Sallie Ford & Mike Coykendall
at Brick & Mortar Music Hall
EVENT PAGE: https://www.facebook.com
Read all about Brian's new album & music in The Bay Bridged (written by Annie Bacon!):
Brian's bio: Brian Belknap is a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter in the mold of Lucinda Williams and Townes Van Zandt. His music— a rough blend of broke-down folk, junk-country blues, and gut-bucket gospel, rendered on accordion, slide guitar, and mandolin—is a product of the rich cultures of San Francisco and New Orleans, the two cities he calls home. Belknap’s latest offering, In Lieu of Flowers, once again finds him in the capable hands of producer Mike Coykendall (M. Ward, She & Him, Bright Eyes, Blitzen Trapper). The record is about coping with loss (both personal and collective), and finding redemption in a world in its own time of reckoning. Never one to shy away from darkness, his own or other people’s, Belknap’s songs not only tell stories, but are able to convey a level of subtlety, nuance, and compassion that is the province of someone who has been down a long and difficult road and has lived to tell the tale.
*Beyond being an incredible musician who is not afraid to play on the street, Brian is one of the best people I know. I'm not alone in this belief: https://www.sfgate.com/music/b
