Brian Jarvis began creating music during a time when acoustic guitars ruled “pop radio”. The airways were filled with the music of artists such as Dave Matthews, David Gray and Guster, and by listening to their songs, Brian fell in love with the sound of acoustic guitar. It became his instrument of choice, and an integral part of his song writing. In his own words, describing the appeal of the instrument, Brian says, “There is no where to run and hide while playing an acoustic guitar; it flaunts your successes and advertises your mistakes.” Relying on his keen ear for melodies, and his strong sense of rhythm, Brian uses his life experiences to create music that is edgier than the traditional singer/songwriter fare. He expresses his emotions with bright, catchy melodies which blend nicely with pop hooks, and intricate guitar riffs and arrangements. “I write songs that are meant for a full band, but that don’t lose their appeal when done with just an acoustic [guitar]. I want to create songs that people can sing back after one listen, but it is equally important to me that my music is palatable without sacrificing any musical integrity.”
