BRIAN "FISHMONGER" KELLY : DEFINITION - an extremely diverse solo acoustic guitarist/singer who embraces best in acoustic roots music, classic rock, folk/rock, and Americana genres..... recipient of the GIGMASTERS BEST of YEAR AWARD in 2017!
"My versatility is my strength, be it in folk/classic rock/country/Americana/Irish music. I have performed thousands of gigs in my veteran career in every conceivable venue and have an extensive repertoire covering over 800 songs ranging from great audience "favorites" to lesser known (but no less appreciated) tunes that you may not associate with the typical solo guitar act. I also work harmonica into my folk and blues tunes. My dual career the past 30 years as both a Cape Cod marine fisheries biologist and busy gigging musician has earned me my apropos stage moniker of "The Fishmonger". Please support your local commercial fishermen and kindly also visit my own website for many more videos/mp3s. And thank you for considering using live music!"

Brian also does a diverse duo called SEABREEZE for wedding ceremonies/cocktail hours with a talented cornet/flute/percussionist should your event warrant it.

Brian did a beautiful job with my parents 70th Birthday party. The music was fun, perfect volume and enjoyed by everyone. He made the evening a truly special night. Thanks Brian!

Brian was just perfect for our party . We had so many comments on how good he was from the 185 guests at our event. He offered to learn new songs which would be meaningful for our honoree and did so! Do not hesitate to book this musician, he was a dream to work with and listen to.

We were so pleased with Brian's performance for our wedding ceremony! We felt that his live performance was even better than his YouTube video samples (which we had already been impressed by and had helped us in deciding to hire him). His style was perfect to compliment our outdoor Cape wedding ceremony.

Brian played for us last weekend at a wedding and it could not have been a better experience from the moment I first contacted him until now. He was very easy to work with and was able to incorporate our song choices and recommend others to go along with the ones we already had in mind. He was always easy to contact and I never had any doubts about him throughout the process. He made it so easy! And on top of all of that, his talent is undeniable. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

Brian was the perfect choice for my outdoor wedding. I wanted a light-hearted feel to it with a skilled acoustic guitarist and he delivered in every way. He was professional, easy to work with, and learned (or re-learned) a specific song I requested for walking down the aisle. He did a perfect job and I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking for an acoustic guitarist or performer for their wedding ceremony.

From our first contact to the day of the event, Brian was a pleasure to work with. He requested a song list, played most of our requests and added a few of his own. He was just the perfect touch for our small intimate wedding. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an acoustic guitar player for a special occasion. Diana & Christoper Shane

Jim and I were very pleased with Brian. He was perfect for our small wedding and venue. He willingly learned a couple of new songs for us. He accomodated a last minute decision to hold the ceremony outside, then quickly moved inside for the reception. He even performed an impromptu duet of "Me and Bobby McGee" with one of our guests, a professional singer. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an acoustic guitarist/singer.

Brian was a great addition to our party. The crowd loved him -- he played crowd favorites, and knew when to keep the music more low key, and when to get the crowd moving. He was great about taking requests (and letting guests peform along with him as well). I'd highly recommend him.
