Raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Brian Roessler grew up with a pen in his hand. What started as a love of prose and poetry turned into a love of writing songs when a college roommate came back one semester with a 12 string acoustic guitar. That love quickly turned into a craft as Brian garnered a reputation around Indiana University of Pennsylvania as one of the local scene's most unique and innovative songwriters, playing in alternate tunings to a percussive rhythm all his own. Now Brian finds himself in Myrtle Beach, where he is honing his craft, and garnering a brand new following.
Listeners often find themselves hard pressed to categorize his rootsy, emotional music, but always find connections in it to their own lives. Brian's songs build on the traditional storytelling of the singer/songwriter genre and take it to a place deep within the soul.
Brian has his own unique musical style, which gets and keeps the attention of his audience. He can be found throughout the Myrtle Beach area, and occasionally the Pittsburgh area, performing at open mic nights or playing clubs. Everyone who has had the chance to see Brian play (since his college days back in western Pennsylvania to the present) has a favorite "Brian" originals and comes back to see him perform every chance they get.
