Album Notes

An acoustic-based rock musician hailing from New Jersey, Brian Colburn has been a mainstay of the NJ music scene for the past decade, and is currently making a name for himself in the singer / songwriter circle. Colburn's music is grounded in soaring melodies and memorable hooks, giving his music a cross-genre appeal.

Since 2007, Brian has released three full discs of original music: 2007's "Literal Fiction," 2008's "Time Marches On," and 2009's "Life Happens." Also in 2009, Brian was featured on the Versailles Record's release of "Wicked Garden: A Millennium Tribute To Stone Temple Pilots," where he and DC Slater contributed an acoustic-reworking of the band's classic track "Unglued." In 2010, Brian released the digital singles "Sacred Sounds" and "Simple" (both of which will appear on his next studio CD, currently slated for mid-2011).

Literal Fiction includes 10 tracks, ranging from upbeat sing-alongs (‘Summer Song’ and ‘Makin Rounds’) and jam-oriented rock (‘Beyond the Grey’ and ‘A Matter of Time’); to instrumental explorations (‘Daydream’) and more laid back fare (‘Sometime, Someway’ and ‘Once Again’). Two of the tracks include a guest appearance by fellow Jersey artist DC Slater, who brings a mellow-groove to the disc’s 3rd track (‘Rewind’) and injects the disc’s title track with a shot of blues-electricity.

Brian's influences include: John Hiatt, Billy Joel, Tom Petty, Jack Johnson, Robert Randolph, Donavon Frankenreiter, Blues Traveler, Sister Hazel, Toad The Wet Sprocket, moe., From Good Homes, Railroad Earth, and Phish.

Brian has appeared as an opening act for Blues Traveler, Plain White T's, Hot Day At The Zoo, and Toad The Wet Sprocket. Brian continues to perform throughout the North-East, and is constantly writing new material.

Brian's Literal Fiction is Amazing!!!
author: Robbie
                            
I first heard Brian and his album Literal Fiction on MySpace and I fell in love with it!  It's soothing to listen to; the guitar and his words take you away and you go along for the ride.  I love the whole album but I must say that Rewind is my all time favorite, so much so that I chose it for my profile song on MySpace.  I'm looking forward to future works from Brain and I know it will be as brilliant as Literal Fiction!!  Keep it up Brian!!  :)

I’ve had my copy of Literal Fiction for a few weeks now and listen to it all the time.  The songs are well written with honest, meaningful lyrics. Summer Song and Sometime, Someway stand out as exceptional. A great CD to listen to after a long day when you just want to relax, unwind and know life it good!  Fantastic work Brian

I'll be totally honest and say I'll skip a track or two :P. Brian did however work very hard and put together a very good album that he can be really proud of, especially for a first effort. As much as I bust his chops, I'm honestly really proud of him for doing it, and doing it well. If I were a professional music reviewer and not his wiseass friend I definitely would not pan this album, and I consider that a huge accomplishment on Brian's part. Good Job B, keep 'em coming.
