Brian Seligman on SoundBetter

Recently recorded for Grammy winning producer Brandi Carlile. Original member of the indie folk band Birdtalker with over 100 million streams. Currently tour with country music legend Tanya Tucker (since 2015).

My goal is to find the emotional center of each song and capture it through my instrumental contributions. I use the electric guitar to explore vast sonic possibilities through a variety of tonal and spacial effects. Additional acoustic instruments can be added to ground it back down to earth for an authentic emotional experience.

I can work with just an mp3 of your song, and layer my instruments over top. Each individual track is made available as well as a rough mp3 bounce of your song. A typical song may have 1 or 2 acoustics, 3 to 5 electrics, and a few additional bluegrass instruments as needed.

Instruments - Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar (standard, 12 string, high strung), Mandolin, Banjo, Dobro, Pedal Steel, Ukulele, Bass Guitar, Piano, B3, Rhodes.

With a focus on Americana music, I am confident and proficient in Country, Rock, Indie Folk, Jazz, and Blues as well.

I play many sessions and tour professionally out of Nashville, with appearances on Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, Ellen, Grand Ole Opry, Ryman, Stage Coach, and Farm-Aid. Artists include Brandi Carlile, Billy Ray Cyrus, Lee Ann Womack, Shooter Jennings, Jamey Johnson, Denis Quad and more!

    Asked Brian to lay down some mandolin on a track. Gave some basic notes of what and where I was hearing parts. Brian not only delivered those parts to a tee however provided an intro, outro, pre-chorus fills, solo harmonies on top of my piano line, etc. Everything a boy could ask! Solid all the way around... 5 out 5.

    Working with Brian Seligman was incredibly easy and a pleasure. He was very thoughtful and I did not have to edit the wonderful recordings that he sent to me, which is something that almost never happens when someone records remotely for a project that I am producing.

    I was very pleased with the expertise that Brian lent as a musician to my composition, and for his courteous use of communication. It was rather flattering to know I was in his schedule, which also included performing with Tanya Tucker!

    I had the opportunity to work with Brian Seligman (Acoustic, Mandolin, Banjo &Mix) Jake Clayton (fiddle & BGVs) and Brittany Hadley (acoustic & Lead Vocals) on my first track and I am nothing short of amazed at their ability to bring my song to life! Brian did a masterful job, from establishing instrumental arrangement, all the way through the final MIX of my track!! HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!!
