Full time Nashville session player - recently recorded for Grammy winning producer Brandi Carlile. Original member of the indie folk band Birdtalker with over 189 million streams. Toured with country music legend Tanya Tucker (2015-2024).
My goal is to find the emotional center of each song and capture it through my instrumental contributions. I use the electric guitar to explore vast sonic possibilities through a variety of tonal and spacial effects. Additional acoustic instruments can be added to ground it back down to earth for an authentic emotional experience.
I can work with just an mp3 of your song, and layer my instruments over top. Each individual track is made available as well as a rough mp3 bounce of your song. A typical song may have 1 or 2 acoustics, 3 to 5 electrics, and a few additional bluegrass instruments as needed.
Instruments - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar (standard, 12 string, high strung), Mandolin, Banjo, Dobro, Pedal Steel, Ukulele, Bass Guitar, Piano, B3, Rhodes.
With a focus on Americana music, I am confident and proficient in Country, Rock, Indie Folk, Jazz, and Blues as well.
I am a full time Nashville session player with a vast touring resume, including appearances on Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, Ellen, Grand Ole Opry, Ryman, Stage Coach, and Farm-Aid. Artists include Brandi Carlile, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lee Ann Womack, Shooter Jennings, Jamey Johnson, Denis Quad and more!

check_circleVerifiedBrian did a great job! He was very responsive and delivered much more than I expected. I will definitely work with him again!
check_circleVerifiedAsked Brian to lay down some mandolin on a track. Gave some basic notes of what and where I was hearing parts. Brian not only delivered those parts to a tee however provided an intro, outro, pre-chorus fills, solo harmonies on top of my piano line, etc. Everything a boy could ask! Solid all the way around... 5 out 5.

Working with Brian Seligman was incredibly easy and a pleasure. He was very thoughtful and I did not have to edit the wonderful recordings that he sent to me, which is something that almost never happens when someone records remotely for a project that I am producing.
