REVIEWS

"Music and melodies are clever and fun! Excellent songwriting."
- Great American Song Contest

"Thank you for the great music. We're playing All I See Is Good! and I'm a Kid regularly."
- Kenny Curtis, XM Satellite Radio

"The Brian Waite Band is one of the undiscovered talents of the northwest! I use this album often in my preschool class and the children love it! (The Red & Green song is our favorite!) A big plus is that while the songs get stuck in your head from time to time, you don't mind. They aren't the sappy, sweet children's songs that you may be used to. The album is a teacher and parent favorite because it is music for families, not just children. There is a positive message throughout the CD that makes you feel energized. I recommend this to any parent or teacher who is looking for something other than Barney!"
- Preschool Teacher

"'Can we listen to Brian?' Every time we get in the car that's the first thing we hear. Both my two year old and seven year old love this CD! The songs are engaging, funny and appeal to adults as well as children. Brian knows exactly how to activate the imagination and my kids are always acting out the songs and dancing in the back seat. What could be better than an entire family grinning and singing All I See is Good! at the top of their lungs? Highly recommended!!"

BIOGRAPHY

In 1999, urged by his wife and inspired by the hundreds of children that he taught at his business, Brian Waite sat down with his guitar and began writing children's music. By incorporating his knowledge of children's humor and interests, along with his rock-n-roll background, Brian's songs were popular with both kids and parents. He was soon asked to perform at a benefit for the local children's hospital.

Brian enlisted long-time friend and drummer, Todd Gray, to join him on stage. The two had such a good time performing, and their chemistry was so strong that they decided to team up and put together a band that performed live, energetic music with child-friendly lyrics. All they needed was a groovin’, bass player.

A fan recommended a talented, jazz bassist by the name of Clif Swiggett. Clif auditioned and, because of his amazing musicianship and great personality, he was immediately asked to join the group. The Brian Waite Band was born!

The band has released three albums to critical acclaim. They like to perform in family concert venues and series throughout the Western United States. They also enjoy donating their time and talent to the Special Olympics of Washington. Currently, the Brian Waite Band is writing new songs and gearing up for another, fun concert season.
