Brian Wride Music

Entertainment

Brian is a very versatile performer who can add a touch of sophistication to any event with his instrumental guitar playing or he can keep the troops entertained playing acoustic guitar and singing his unique blend of classic tunes and Canadiana.  You can find sample videos below.

As an instrumental fingerstyle guitarist, Brian creates images and evokes emotions with his guitar.  As such, he has performed for the Greenbank Folk Music Society, the Springtide Music Festival, and the Kawartha Lakes Festival of the Arts.

Vocally, Brian performs acoustic versions of rock, pop, folk, country and blues tunes that span the generations - from the 1920s to the 2020s.  Brian regularly sings and plays at local venues and events, including Whitevale Porchfest, Uxbridge Art on the Fringe, and the Kawartha Lakes Hunters' Moon Festival.

Brian can perform up to two hours of instrumental music or 4 hours of vocal music (with a 15 minute break every hour).  Brian always performs "off book" to maximize the entertainment experience.

More recently, Brian has formed the Brian Wride Trio. The trio adds bass, drums, and vocal harmonies to Brian's guitar and lead vocals.  More info can be found here:  www.brianwridemusic.ca/trio/
