Brian Keane has long been a proponent of live musicians, and has worked with and employed hundreds of talented musicians and recording engineers throughout his career. Their performances and talents have graced nearly all of Brian's music. It is likely that in compiling such a huge list over a 4 decade career, we may have missed a few names. If we have, we sincerely apologize, and would gladly add anybody we might have missed if you would email us and let us know at contact@briankeanemusic.com. Thank you to all the musicians and engineers for contributing so much.
