After extensively performing and collaborating with various bands and organizations across the United States for over sixteen years, "B.C.", now writes, records, and performs his own Progressive/Alternative Hard Rock compositions, which have been described as "refreshingly different". A bass guitar player by trade, this Chicago based musician is always exploring new and interesting ways of expressing himself on this instrument, at times tastefully interweaving multiple bass lines, as heard in "Deceit" and "Manic Tranquility". While his music possesses a hard rock edge and consists of complex arrangements, B.C. always retains a keen focus on vocal melodies and harmonies. Many of his influences, including Porcupine Tree, Tool, Oceansize, Rush, A Perfect Circle, Soundgarden, Pink Floyd, The Cure, King's X, King Crimson, and Primus can be heard scattered throughout his music, though the end result is a sound entirely his own.
Now armed with a talented and experienced group of musicians, B.C. continues to dazzle fans with energetic live performances of songs from the debut album, "Map of the Muddled Mind", as well as newly written original material. All members of B.C. are accomplished musicians and songwriters with extensive live and studio experience, particularly in Chicago and Los Angeles. They have performed as the supporting act for such groups as Incubus, 311, King's X, Phantom Planet, Greta, and Lisa Loeb, and have played in many acclaimed bands, including Monkeybread, Fran Banish, World's Apart, and Steam Shovel.
As the recently released "Map of the Muddled Mind" continues to amaze progressive and alternative rock fans around the world, B.C. invites all music lovers to come experience what fans have referred to as "the best local band I've ever seen".
