Curt Brady

I grew up on Long Island and now reside in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. I share a small beach cottage with my 1 son, 1 wife, 3 cats and 19 guitars.

Along with Dave Matthews, Lyle Lovett, Harry Chapin and other great songwriters, my music is heavily influenced by the experience and versatility I gained over my 22 years of service as a musician (guitarist) in the US Army. I retired form the Army in 2005 and now work as a guitar teacher and freelance musician.

My goal is to establish myself as a singer-songwriter and to use the many styles of guitar playing I've learned over the years to write great songs. I pride myself on the fact that my songs don't all sound the same. I use a lot of different approaches to my music--sometimes a song starts with a cool guitar part, sometimes with an interesting title, other times just a melody or part of a chorus. I then develop my ideas into complete compositions. My background of playing many different kinds of music, from Country to Big Band, give my songs a unique combination of flavors and styles.
