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.
REVIEWS
"The Brian Waite Band''s energetic third album features interactive, imaginative songs in a variety of styles covering an assortment of themes. This trio of talented musicians use mostly guitars and a drum as accompaniment. The title song, sung with a mountain bluegrass ''twang'', contemplates the interconnectedness of families paddling together on the river of life. The 70''s rock-styled ''We All Make Mistakes'' reassures listeners that no one is perfect. ''The Time Out Blues'' shares a little empathy with kids who have lost their privelege to play. Although these songs are presented in a light-hearted manner, they are no match for ''The Burp Song'' (just use your imagination!) or the memorable a capella song ''Bongo Baby'', which are just pure fun. Make room in your shrinking budget for this clever title; you won''t be sorry. Perfect for family listening, it will be especially appreciated by adults who are tired of standard children''s music fare."
