Details:
An acoustic-based rock musician hailing from the âsticksâ of New Jersey, Brian Colburn has been a part of the NJ music scene for the past decade; fronting two original bands, along with spending a year in NJâs cover circuit. He has opened for many national acts, including the Plain White Tâs - whose hit song âHey There Delilahâ helped bring acoustic pop-rock back into the mainstream.

With influences ranging from: 90's rock acts such as Sister Hazel and Toad The Wet Sprocket, recent acoustic-rock mainstays such as Jack Johnson and Donavon Frankenreiter, and timeless rockers from John Hiatt to Tom Petty - Colburnâs songwriting process is grounded in soaring melodies and memorable hooks, giving his music a cross-genre appeal. âLiteral Fiction,â Colburnâs debut solo effort, offers a unique blend of those influences, making for an original sound thatâs sure to please fans of all genres.

Literal Fiction includes 10 tracks, ranging from upbeat sing-alongs (âSummer Songâ and âMakin Roundsâ) and jam-oriented rock (âBeyond the Greyâ and âA Matter of Timeâ); to instrumental explorations (âDaydreamâ) and more laid back fare (âSometime, Somewayâ and âOnce Againâ). Two of the tracks include a guest appearance by fellow Jersey artist DC Slater, who brings a mellow-groove to the discâs 3rd track (âRewindâ) and injects the discâs title track with a shot of blues-electricity.

âLiteral Fictionâ can be easily summed up through Colburn's own lyrics in âRewindâ: "Just sit back, relax, and let the music be your friend."
