Anachronist's most recent release is "Stay Late" (2020), the band's fourth record.
A fine woodworker in addition to being a fine musician, Brian lives in Calais with his wife and two sons.

[Plus! Joining Brian & his acoustic guitar will be Anachronist band vocalist ANGELA PALADINO, whose voice is a vehicle for much of Brian's recent songwriting.]
