Brian Wride Music + Musician in Uxbridge, ON

ABOUT

Brian Wride is an accomplished instrumental guitarist and occasional composer who teaches guitar from his home in Uxbridge, Ontario. His passion is for music education, but he has also developed a love of performing at events and festivals and is a fixture in his local music scene, hosting two weekly open mics. Even though Brian specializes in instrumental guitar, he can often be found singing and playing his unique acoustic interpretations of rock, pop, folk, and country tunes at local events and venues.

Brian fronts his own band, The Brian Wride Trio which is currently able to take gigs up to two hours long. The Trio is a neo-skiffle band, combining elements of folk, blues, and country into original takes on songs of love, loss, longing and dysfunction - songs old and new, well-known and obscure. Complementing Brian's guitar and lead vocals are Jon Grove on bass and vocals and Brad Jefferies on drums, harmonica, and vocals.

Brian is also a member of the Blue Drag Band, where he sings and plays rhythm and lead guitar.
