The Proposal

My long time friend and band member, Walter Vanek, started this song but hadn't completed it. I liked the tune so much that I added my own lyrics to the tune. I wrote the lyrics with Walter in mind, making it a conversation between two friends. A few years ago I realized that the song could also be a father to daughter conversation so I re-recorded it as a duet with my daughter Erin.

Come To Me

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.

A 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.
