brian mcloughlin band (bmb) is comprised of Brian McLoughlin vocals/acoustic guitar, Joe Serin/guitar, Brian Trainor/drums & Don Kirchenbauer/bass. Formed in northeast Pennsylvania in March 2005 they have been building a loyal following over the past year with their dynamic live shows and the release of their independent debut album blur.
In April 2005, the bmb hit the studio and recorded blur, which was released in July 2005. The band produces alot of enthusiasm on stage and while it is difficult to duplicate the energy of a live show in a sterile studio environment the band proves nothing is impossible. They have no fear either when it comes to throwing various musical genres together on a single album. The opening track "Wrapped Up In Blue" shows the influence of the Grateful Dead, they delve into southern rock Allman Brothers style with dueling slide guitars on "Northern Lights", "Soaking In The Sunshine" creates that calypso island feel and "Hold On" an all acoustic track brings it way back to bluegrass. The album continues to receive strong radio airplay on NPR and college radio stations nationwide and has been hailed as one of the top 100 albums of 2005 by Upstage Radio & Magazine.
In the short time that the brian mcloughlin band has been together they have appeared in such renowned venues as The Stanhope House, The Sarah Street Grill, Krogh's, The Saint, The Whiskey Bar, John & Peter's, Harry's Bar & Grill. In 2006 they headlined at the Big Bandingo and Mayhem On The Mountain Festivals. They've shared the stage with countless talented "on the verge" bands including Subcommittee, Big Boss Sausage, Dirt Road 14, The Natural Breakdown, B-Train Express and just recently opened for The Charlie Daniels Band at the Sussex County Fair Grounds, Augusta, NJ.
