Professional Session Guitarist | 14 Years of Experience | Versatile in Blues, Rock, Pop, Folk, and World Music
Hi, I'm Brian Keusch, and I've been immersed in the world of guitar for over 14 years. My journey began under the guidance of a professional session and tour guitarist, and over time, I’ve developed my own signature style through self-teaching and hands-on experience. I specialize in blending a variety of genres, drawing on influences from blues, rock, pop, folk, and world music. Whether it's fingerpicking, strumming, or hybrid picking, I love creating unique soundscapes that blend different styles—much like my guitar hero, Jimmy Page.
Some of my biggest inspirations come from iconic players like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Slash, and Jack White, and their influence is evident in my playing. My tone is an intuitive mix of clean, reverb-laden western guitars combined with a raw, dirty edge, perfect for a wide range of musical settings.
I’ve been playing in my own band, Urgent Needs, for over 8 years now, and have experience in both live performance and studio recording. I offer session guitar work, custom compositions, and song ideation. Whether you're looking for lead guitar, rhythm guitar, or creative input on a new project, I'm here to bring your vision to life.
As for gear, I’m equipped with some incredible instruments: a 1978 Gibson Marauder, a 1969 Kalamazoo KG 2, and a Brian May guitar, alongside two acoustic beauties—my Cort Earth 200 and an Ibanez NW 310. I work with Ableton Live 11, using a Universal Audio Apollo Twin, paired with a Yamaha THR 10, Fender Custom Amp, and Orange Tiny Terror to craft the perfect sound for each project.
Music, to me, is more than just playing—it’s about expressing emotion, escaping worries, and telling stories through sound. I’m open for remote sessions, songwriting, and even live gigs. Let’s collaborate and create something amazing together!
