Brian Kremer bills himself as a crooner/songwriter, pointing with a Dean Martin wink to an elegant sound that plays somewhere between Bing Crosby and Hank Williams on the radio dial. Brian’s polished, tender voice and guitar-picking charm are fully showcased on his new album “Echoes & Twirls” due in late 2014. Backed by the award-winning acoustic trio The Carper Family, he recorded live in a large, vaulted-ceiling studio to analog tape just the way his heroes once did. The dozen country-tinged songs include standards like “Cold, Cold Heart” and “Don’t Fence Me In”, classic-influenced originals, and deeper cuts once made hits by a young Frank Sinatra. His résumé includes jazz studies at Berklee, a classical Grammy nomination with the Dale Warland Singers, and a debut singer/songwriter record that Austin.com describes as “exquisitely pleasurable heartache”. His performances include earnest interpretations from the American Songbook alongside his own creations, a little whistling, and a lot of romance and heartbreak – all from a tall, well-dressed gentleman who genuinely fits the part. Brian performs in Austin at The Driskill Hotel and Cactus Café with touring plans ahead for 2015.
