About Brian Pepper
Brian Pepper, 30, was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. His Parents both played music casually and at 14 he began playing guitar. Brian picked it up quickly, and was soon writing his own music. His earliest musical influences were the oldies and classic rock radio stations he listened to with his dad. Initially self-taught on the guitar, he later studied formally with a local guitar teacher named John Hedger. Through this, Brian developed a keen interest in the blues of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and Lightening Hopkins, and later, classical guitar, which he studied for a year. A high school classmate turned Brian on to the music of The Replacements, The cure, and Nick Drake, and around the same time, Brian discovered the local college radio station, where he was first drawn to the music of Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, and the alt-country/Americana music that was buzzing just below the radar. Brian's musical experiences broadened in college, where he studied classical piano and played guitar and piano as a member of the school jazz ensemble. He majored in piano performance and minored in English. He taught piano after college, but soon turned his attention seriously to songwriting, honing his craft and playing open mic nights at Common Grounds coffee house and High on Rose in downtown Lexington. In 2004, he moved to the Nashville area. His debut full-length release on Ten O Nine Records, "Lost Days", was released August 22, 2008. The record contains all original songs which bring together Brian's diverse musical influences and experiences in a powerful and compelling synthesis.
