Cleveland born singer-songwriter Brian-Marcel has been around the music scene for quite a while. A session player / writer for a number of bands and artists, he now finds himself back in the role of solo musician. While sharing the stage with the likes of Matt Wertz, Colbie Caillat, Third Eye Blind, as well as being a part of both the Vans Warped tour / Bamboozle Roadshow, Brian-Marcel had time to hone his sound, which has become very indicative of his influences.  

With the completion of the 8 song ep "Call Off The War", Brian, whom almost gave up music earlier this year, found a way to showcase his unique blend of acoustic-pop and piano driven rock, all while maintaining his soulful and catchy brand of melodies. From the opening song "What Makes You Think", an upbeat accusation of a lover gone astray, to the hardships of compromise on the title track "Call Off The War", it is clear that Brian-Marcel has a special gift, and has no problem sharing his sound with the world. 

Brian now finds himself prepping for the riggers of tour. Along side his band in his current town of Tempe, Az, they are putting the final touches which will truly be an entertaining experience. 

Be sure to check out Brian-Marcel (and band) at a venue near you and don't forget to check out "Call Off the War (ep)"  which will be available on Itunes January 1st 2013.
