From an early age, it was clear that Brian Donahue was drawn to irony and melancholy in music. As a toddler he could be found gleefully singing along to the Beatles' tongue-in-cheek murder anthem, “Maxwell's Silver Hammer,” or listening in fearful amazement to Taj Mahal singing the story of “Stagger Lee.” So not surprisingly, when Brian writing his owns songs, he found himself drawing inspiration from the deep well of sadness and loss. A strong lyricist whose introspective verses strike universal chords of emotion, Brian finds catharsis in his songs. Brian combines elements of folk rock, pop, and “emo” to create a sound that is moving and beautiful, exploring the full range of his dynamic tenor voice. Based in Philadelphia, Brian released his first album, Strangest Love, in 2004 and his track "Melting Ice" was featured on Philadelphia's huge Adult Alternative station, WXPN.
