Brian McKenzie is a versatile singer-songwriter, guitarist, producer, and musician whose music has been described as heartfelt truths, intertwined with emotional musicality and memorable melodies. Hailing from Rhode Island, McKenzie started his music career in the early 90s as the founding member, music writer, and guitarist of the heavy-rock band: Warner/Giant Records recording artists Kilgore. He has since written and co-produced 3 albums and 3 singles as a solo artist, showcasing not only his soulful, melodic, singer-songwriter material, but also firing off catchy modern-rock tunes with an abundance of hooks and well crafted guitar melodies. The Recording Academy placed McKenzie on the Official Ballot for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards in four categories for the album Resolution (2011). The first track on that album, 40 East, landed a spot in the Jonathan Silverman directed film A Bet's a Bet. Brian continues to record and perform nationally and is endorsed by Blueridge Guitars, Shubb Capos, LR Baggs Electronics and Cordial Cables.
