About Brian
Familiar songs.
A genuine connection.
After years of playing guitar in bands, Brian Gardiner stepped to the microphone and built a solo show around the music people love to hear.
His acoustic sets travel through classic rock and pop favourites from the 1950s to today—from Buddy Holly to The Sheepdogs. The result is relaxed, engaging and made for audiences who want to sing along, settle in and enjoy the room.
Based in Cambridge, Ontario, Brian has performed across Southern Ontario, from Kingston to Sarnia and from Parry Sound to Niagara Falls and Long Point.
