~~BIO~~
In the late 80s, Ghostbeat appeared as a central Florida newage African funk jazzy experiment (CD: Themes For Dreams). Of course, that quickly evolved into industrial/techno, getting heavy rotation (CD: Here Now) on one of the nation's top 5 most influential college radio stations, also winning an EMI Records songwriting contest.

Soon Bryan's true musical roots and limbs were crying out and Ghostbeat transformed into a power pop trio, playing throughout Florida in the 90s, heavily in Orlando and Brevard County (see venue listing). They were known for unique originals and covers, including handfuls of songs by XTC, Jellyfish, Beatles and They Might Be Giants among others. Their heavy airplay on WFIT in Melbourne led to a recording deal with minor Atlanta label Ichiban. Their CD release Water sold out of its original pressing even before it was released, but the label dissolved soon after, abandoning its promotion. Independently Ghostbeat released their own unplugged CD Living Room Music and a follow-up electric power pop Got It. They were "Jammy"-nominated for Best Florida Pop Band, performed openers for the Beatles proteges Badfinger, as well as rockers Warrant.

A self-imposed break delivered lots of recording time, which resulted in Ghostbeat's next three albums (Off, Dive, Ghostbeat Five). Not limiting arrangements to a live lineup, these three are extremely diverse in genre and style (including a few not yet identified) from track to track, modeled after the Beatles White Album. From ragtime to rock, and almost everything in between and surrounding, giving more room for Bryan's intense studies of worldbeat and experimental music to peek through.

Soon Bryan and Ken were lured to play in the Ray Allaire Band with his style of exquisitely crafted country-pop. Shortly thereafter his single "Cowboy Walk" was released on Universal Records.

Ghostbeat still plays at house concerts, street fests, company parties and clubs. In 2005 Ghostbeat won Brevard Live Magazine's E.A.R. Award honoring their body of work - see discography. Their next album Old Friend Surprise is in production now. The new songs there promise a new direction from an old friend.

Bryan has written, performed, and produced over 140 songs in the last two years as a staff songwriter for Songs Of Love Foundation. He has also recorded/produced radio jingles/themes, soundtracked independent films, fashion shows, and written motivational songs for companies. He is also a webmaster for concertsinyourhome.com, promoting house concerts around the world.

Occasionally Ghostbeat will host community events called Rhythms of the Ages, where they unite kids and seniors to create percussion and play together.
