Brian Elliot

A graduate of University of Miami at the Frost School of Music, Brian has made music a full-time job and a way of life from a young age. Although having a strong background in jazz studies, Brian plays and sings all genres and specializes in Blues, Soul, R&B, and Funk. 

Brian returned to the Philadelphia area in 2015, where he continued to grow as a solo cover artist and began to play with live-looping rigs. Live-looping is a performance in which a live artist records multiple instruments and layers using foot pedals or table-top units ad lib without pre-recorded material. Often attempted, but seldomly done well, this takes extremely accurate timing and coordination, and has been made famous by artists such as Ed Sheeran and Keller Williams. Brian travels with a live-looping pedalboard and plays and arranges famous cover songs, layering synchronized instrumentation of guitar, bass, and vocals ad lib.

In high-demand, he is a full-time performer, playing solo and duo gigs at venues, cocktail hours, wedding ceremonies, and private parties. From birthdays and barbecues to weddings and bar mitzvahs he keeps crowds entertained for any special event.

As a duo, he often plays with one of Philly’s top trumpet players, Leon Jordan Jr, son of jazz drummer Leon Jordan. In the duo format he also performs with several great pianists/guitarists that sing harmony.
