Not only was I pleased with the stimulating conversation we had, but I loved listening to the finished and edited program that he created from the raw material. And I HATE to listen back to myself.” – Bill Janovitz, musician and author of New York Times best-seller, Leon Russell: The Master of Space and Time's Journey Through Rock and Roll History. "Brendan is a natural born music ambassador. Every time I listen to him on the air, I’m engaged by his easy manner, entertained by his musical selections, and edified by his knowledge and observations that make me appreciate the music even more. He’s a rare and wonderful talent." - Lisa Mullins, Public Radio Anchor/Reporter Boston “My time on-air with Brendan is like sharing your morning with a longtime friend, which is what radio is all about! Brendan has my deepest respect, admiration and of course my friendship. Catch me on his show sometime!” - Cha-Chi Loprete, Host of Breakfast with The Beatles, WUMB "Each course Brendan has taught has allowed OLLI students to expand their understanding and appreciation of various music genres and history, especially those of marginalized voices within the American music scene. Brendan's grasp and knowledge of the material presented has proven to be quite excellent as seen by the many positive comments he receives on the courses' evaluations." - Jim Hermelbracht, director Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UMass Boston For music or seminar booking inquiries, use the contact form. |
