Overview
I perform as a one man band on the accordion, slide guitar, mandolin, harmonica, kick drum and high hat. I have opened for bands such as Cake, Calexico and Train. I have a repertoire that runs to 7 hours of guttbucket gospel, bayou swing, country waltzes along with Cajun covers of old classics, junk blues renditions of jazz standards, and Tex-Mex tangos.

One Man Swamp Band was great even when suffering through the heat!
He was perfect for our crawfish boil!

Response from One Man Swamp Band:
Thanks so much Michelle! It was a pleasure working with you and your stellar crew!! Those crawfish were tremendous! Look forward to next time!
We are beyond grateful for the incredible performance by The One Man Swamp Band at our wedding. From the moment he began playing, it was like he had known us forever. His music not only set the perfect atmosphere but also touched the hearts of our family and friends. It felt like we were celebrating with a dear friend rather than a hired musician. Brian has left an indelible mark on our special day, and we can't wait to have him be a part of our future celebrations. Thank you for making our wedding even more magical!

Brian went above and beyond. Couldn’t imagine a better performer or nicer person to help with the event. Would recommend him 10/10 times!

Thanks Jorge! Such a sweet night!
Brian was very responsive and gracious, worked with me to develop a setlist and special requests (including making sure the music wasn't too loud for our small venue). He showed up on time and blew us away with his authentic NOLA music. Onlookers from the restaurant brought their children over to join the dancing. Would absolutely hire him again.

Tkanks Jacquelyn! Look forwrd to next time!!
Brian was flexible and responsive. His set up was quick and he took a strange request from my family (to play a Christmas song in August!). He played several songs for my mom’s Mardi Gras themed birthday party. He was a real professional. My mom even hugged him when he left. 10/10 recommend.
Brian’s singing and playing performance matched and really outdid our expectation! :))
He was reliable in all regards—
The wide range of music he made on his vast array of instruments was the perfect support for our party. He is a good fun laid back music man and I would recommend him highly. We could not have been happier!
Looking forward to next time !!!

Such a pleasure to play for Ace's 80th and to meet you both and your charming friends. Look forward to next time!!
We had a backyard birthday party, and Brian was the perfect addition. He played great songs, took requests, and was an enjoyable guest with lots of great stories to tell. I don’t want to throw another party without him!! He made the night really special and fun for us all.
Brian did a fabulous job providing us with music. I know all the patrons loved it and wanted to know when we could do this again. He was engaging with the everyone and a great time was had by all. I will definitely use him again.

Thanks Arelle!! It was a pleasure playing for all of you!
Brian was was the consummate professional, making our event one for the record books. Despite temperatures around 112 degrees (!), he made great recommendations to accommodate our al fresco event to a cozy inside affair. When he moved indoors, the party really took off! Thanks Brian, for your fabulous entertainment, and please return for our next soirée.

Brian played our guests onboard The River City Queen in Old Town Sacramento…setting the tone for our riverboat cruise party celebrating my husbands birthday. He was friendly, prompt and extremely talented. A real pro. I recommend him highly.

We had such a wonderful night. Brian was a great guy, showed up on time, let my kids have a blast seeing the instruments, and then played an awesome set of fun music during our party. Our guests couldn’t stop asking where we had found him and remarking how great the music was.

Thanks Siegfried! An absolute pleasure to work with you and your staff. Look forward to working with you again!
Brian as the One Man Swamp Band it multi-talented and created the lively atmosphere we wanted for our summer family party. He plays beautifully, has a great voice, and really mixes it up with sounds from guitar, ukelele, accordian, harmonica —- all while playing the drum. We made the whole party New Orleans, from the music to the food to the happy, relaxed vibe. Perfect! Thanks, again, Brian.
