For rising star Brian Grilli, recording and producing a album of songs to showcase his songwriting and musicianship, is a dream come true. Brian’s
song “Letters From An Outlaw” is to be featured on Season 7 of “Sons of Anarchy” and is on Brian’s solo debut album, “Damn Good Day”. Brian who was formerly in Regional Act The Trailerhood, is venturing out into virgin territory as a solo act!
“When I think of all my influences first trying to make it as new artists, they were willing to take risks and try anything and I admire that.” The risks that Brian is willing to take are reflected in the albums eclectic offering. Taking country music even further into the rock arena by busting genres, his tracks have tremendous crossover potential. The album was recorded at Clay Garden Studio in Norfolk, VA with the help of Brad Rosenberg at the helm of the console and mastered by Richard Dodd. It features 11 tracks that have Brian playing all guitars, mandolin, banjo and lap steel. In Brian’s words are “Some of the best songs I’ve written to date.”
Brian describes his own music as fun and youthful while at the same time signifying deep meaning. “Music is about stories. Some of those stories can
be meaningful and still be fun. I never write a song that I think myself or other folks can’t relate to in some way, shape, or form. My music will always reflect who I am.”
A Wounded Veteran, Brian hopes that his music will provide a new means for him to give back to his community. “I would like to give back to other
Wounded Warriors for protecting this country and our freedoms.”
Brian has had the opportunity to perform across the US, from his hometown in Virginia Beach, VA to The Viper Room in Los Angeles. Brian has has
shared bigger stages with Cheap Trick, Sarah Darling, Smithereens, Lucero and Iggy Pop just to name a few. Following his upcoming hometown
performances to perform songs from his new album, Brian will be promoting “Damn Good Day” nationwide with his band The Southern Prophets. Brian
also knows that, with the support of family and friends on his side, anything is possible for him to achieve his goals. “Everyone has dreams…” he states. “I am just going for mine now and giving it my best shot!”
