| After decades of performing for crowds around the Maryland region, singer-songwriter Brian R. Cooney is readying his first professionally recorded and self-produced CD. For years, Brian, a lifelong resident of small town Catonsville, Maryland, has been playing a unique combination of classic rock covers and original songs that blend equal parts folk and rock. One of eight children born to an ambitious Radio City Glee Club Captain and his Rockette wife, Brian R. Cooney was never a stranger to music. Growing up, his home was rarely silent. The family often sang harmonies together before bedtime, around the holidays, and in the car on long trips. Informal recordings of family gatherings from Brian's childhood sound more like the work of a celebrated boys' choir than a group of "amateur" children. While he considers such rock legends as Neil Young, America, Don McLean, Nils Lofgren and the Beatles to be among his primary influences, Brian also finds himself constantly inspired by more contemporary and edgy acts like Collective Soul, Soul Asylum, Everclear, Jars of Clay, and Angie Aparo. This unique combination of styles is what draws many to Brian's work, as his music becomes an easily accessible mix of classic folk and rock music with modern hooks. Over twenty years as a husband and father of three have lead to some recurrent themes in Brian's songs, which often focus on relationships with his family, friends, and wife.
