Bio: 

Brian Wride is an accomplished fingerstyle guitarist with a "voice like a minor key" who teaches music from his home in Uxbridge, Ontario. And while his passion is for music education, he rarely passes up an opportunity to battle stage fright. You can find him hosting the Col. McGrady's Sunday Night Acoustic Open Mic every Sunday starting at 6 pm.

Style:

Historically, Brian is known for playing instrumental guitar - a mix of classical, ragtime, celtic and contemporary fingerstyle, suitable for weddings, dinners, street festivals, recitals, etc.  In the past, he has performed instrumentally for festivals, fundraisers, retirement parties, art shows, and yoga classes.  Increasingly, Brian has been getting bookings to sing and play for coffee houses, festivals, and the like. 

If you would like to book Brian for your event or for more information, please call 905-852-6131.

Upcoming Events:

All of Brian's events can now be found on his Facebook event page.  (You can access the Event Page without having a Facebook account.)

Every Sunday Night at 6 pm, from September until June, Brian is pleased to host the Acoustic Open Mic at Col. McGrady's Pub and Grill.  All performers are eligible to win a gift card courtesy of our sponsor, The Second Wedge Brewing Co.
