MP3 Don Brinser - GATE ON RED HILL
12 MP3 Songs
FOLK: Modern Folk, EASY LISTENING: Soft Rock
Details:
Don helped form his first band when he was 15, playing electric piano & organ. That was nearly 4 decades ago. Keyboard/synths were still a few years away! It was just a good ol’ rock ‘n roll band, but over the course of several years the band had a little success in their home circuit of south central Pennsylvania. After the band dissolved, Don picked up an acoustic guitar, & his music drifted to the folk scene -Tom Rush, Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, etc. Then something new happened: the Singer/Songwriter movement emerged, and artists like Steve Noonan & Jackson Browne caught Don’s attention with a new, undefined sound. Now sometimes called “Alternative Folk”, it’s a style with few boundaries: folk, blues, jazz, classical, all are welcome and blended here, and both piano and acoustic guitar fit in the niche. The songs on GATE ON RED HILL, 3 vocals, the rest instrumentals, are evocative and lyrical.
Don grew up not far from his family’s 1750 homestead, a place known locally as Red Hill, near the beautiful Susquehanna River in the Pennsylvania Dutch area of Lancaster County. A lot of influences converge in Don’s music, and GATE ON RED HILL tells a story. Hopefully, listening to this music will help you think about your story, as well.
You might want to first listen to the sound clip of ‘Whimsy’ from the list on the left; it''s a solo piano piece that was recorded live, and perhaps best sums up the spirit of Don’s music.
