Bryan Masters

Bryan Masters' crooked heart was educated along the two-lane blacktops and dirt roads of Kansas, and his music speaks of small towns, dreams lost and found, and the torments of real love and dented hearts. One reviewer described him as "a guy who'd like to see the world in romantic terms if there just wasn't so much evidence to the contrary." Attentive Kansans will recognize Bryan's voice and songs from his former bands Shoobachs, Howdy and Stick Men, where he first played with Dennis Hardin. Bryan has released two solo CDs, So Low and Thundar the Boy Giant.

Bryan has released two solo CDs, So Low and Thundar the Boy Giant. In the past seven years, he has landed 11 songs in the winners' circle in the New Song Showcase at the Walnut Valley Festival (aka Winfield).

These days, Bryan performs as half of Back Porch Buddha with co-conspirator and six-string franchise Dennis Hardin.
