Brian Doyle Full Bio

Brian Doyle is a multi-dimensional, singer-songwriter whose career is marked by 4 album releases, notable performances, and consistently solid reviews. His sound is built on traditional rock, blues, and folk with creatively-edgy, alternative songwriting.

His latest album, releasing in November 2006, “All Roads Lead To Home,” is perhaps his strongest work, though his previous albums won rave reviews. Southeast Performer magazine wrote: “Brian Doyle is a multi-talented musician deserving of much acclaim, and “Falling Forward” is a completely enjoyable album full of energy.” And the album “Matter” was called an “extremely solid and hones composition with hints of rock, country and blues” by an Atlanta recording executive.

Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Doyle plays both solo and with his band, the Hamiltons, at music venues across the southeast.
Doyle's musical path began in a garage in his home town of Jackson, Michigan playing rhythm guitar for his first band and after an exhaustive and unsuccessful search for a singer, he eventually slid over to the microphone. He relocated to Grand Rapids, Michigan and formed a party band with high school friends called The K.G.B. (killergreenbuds) playing anyplace with a power outlet. He next joined up with a band called The Blind Rebels (it was a Brando thing) as the singer/ lyricist and started the evolution into song writing. The Blind Rebels was more of a song writing project than a band, writing and recording three full length demos in just over a year and a half. This of course led to cabin fever, creative differences, a few ego maniacs and a break up.
Ready for a change, Doyle moved south to Atlanta from Grand Rapids, started writing on his own, and recorded his solo debut, The Vicious Circle, in late 1997. He spent a few years playing around the Atlanta area with his band and as a solo artist (vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica), developing new material and maturing as a performer.
In 2000, Doyle recorded his second CD, Falling Forward. Engin
