BRIAN BERLIN (b. 1972) is an American folk-rock country-blues singer-songwriter from Kemah, Texas.

He sings original works and plays harmonica while accompanying himself on guitar. His catalog of songs is beautifully imperfect, eclectic, and rich with ironic contradictions.

A member of the American Federation of Musicians, Local 65-699, he has been an active musician in the Houston-Galveston area for three decades performing solo and with rock, jazz, and symphonic ensembles on just about every instrument imaginable.

Dr. Berlin teaches public school music during the day and has maintained a private teaching studio for the good part of thirty-five years.
