Brian’s Bio
Brian Morgan is a fiddler, bassist and guitar player, whose musical experiences have included stints in a tuxedo-clad, lounge lizard quartet, a road weary duo ill-named Mac’n’Tosh, a retro rock band called Bage Gao Bizi (Eight High Noses), which performed regularly in Chongqing (1988), as well as the Motorgrass band Jughead, legendary matinee idols of the 90’s. Throughout, Brian has been writing original songs and performing them to appreciative crowds..
