Musical interests - Anything with passion, regardless of classification. I have my favorites, but to list them would shortchange many great artists. Many other interests outside of music. I'm at as many shows as I can, catch me there and we'll chat!

Bryan B, DJ for Aisle of Plenty

I have been a Prog Rock fan for over 25 years now. I grew up listening to the classic rock of the 60s and 70s via my father’s reel to reel (The Doors, Janice Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stephens, etc.). This led to a greater appreciation of music in general.

I grew up playing the saxophone from 1984-1996. I dabbled in guitar for a few years after that. My education led me to becoming focused on audio and video production. I have worked in the entertainment business & corporate audio-visual business for the past 15 years. I have worked in front of and behind the camera and microphone.

I would say that my first exposure to Prog Rock was the Jethro Tull album “Benefit” as a child. From there I grew up listening to Genesis and as I went through high school, my love of Genesis grew- (Both Gabriel and Collins era). People who know me well would often joke that I live, eat, and breathe Genesis. I have a large bootleg collection of their music that I have collected since the late 80s/early 90s. In 2007, to commemorate the reunion of Genesis, I got the 1971 Genesis Logo tattooed in color on my shoulder. Yes, that is how much of a fan that I am!!

The original idea for “The Aisle of Plenty”, goes back to 1997, when I hosted a short lived 2 hour radio program that featured the music of Genesis. Eleven years later in 2008, I expanded upon that idea to bring “The Aisle of Plenty” back to the radio airwaves and focus on playing many of the great prog rock bands from yesteryear into a 2 hour live show. I sometimes think I was born in the wrong era. I would say that my appreciation for Prog Rock has grown even further as I have aged. Now in my late 30s; Prog Rock holds a great place in my heart. They just don’t make music like they did in the past.
