Brian Cristopher singing and playing guitar on stage under warm lights

Singer / guitarist

BrianCristopher

Full sounding solo guitar, a voice to fill the room, and a setlist big enough for any crowd. I play bars, restaurants, corporate events and private parties right across Europe, and I stream live online gigs every week.

Live every week

I'm online every week

I stream full live gigs to YouTube at least once a week, and there are hundreds of past streams for you to check out over on my channel. Tune in from wherever you are and turn up the volume - it's party time.

About me

Over 40 years,over 12.000 gigs

I turned professional in 1984, and gigged around the UK throughout the rest of the 80s. In 1988, I took up a summer residency in Albufeira, Portugal - around 160 gigs a season in one very busy bar - and still return now over 30 years later. In 1992 I worked my first ski season in Mayrhofen, Austria, did 25 winters, and have been based in the country since the early 2000s.

I've been over to Holland regularly every Spring and Autumn since 1991, and have now done well over 1500 gigs in that country alone. Italy, France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland are all places I'm regularly invited to play, too.

My guitar style is very full sounding, based on blues, classical and jazz technique, all fused into the 200+ rock and pop songs I cover - which lets me play tunes a lot of singer-guitarists wouldn't usually attempt - without backing tracks or loopers. I don't read while I'm playing: the gigs are spontaneous, I'm on my feet throughout, and it's all very visual and engaging. I'm as happy turning a party up loud as I am playing ballads in a quieter restaurant, cocktail bar, or even your garden or front room. The main thing is: every gig is a laugh for everyone involved.

Two ways to have me play live - at your venue or on your screen. Just get in touch.

In person

Book a private gig

Live music for your pub, restaurant, at a birthday, anniversary, wedding, reunion, or just for fun. I'm based in Austria most of the year, so for gigs further afield I add travel onto my standard fee. Drop me a message and I'll let you know if I'm free.

Online gig

Schedule an online gig

I'll play a live gig straight to your screen - any day, any time, as long as I'm not already out on the road. There's no fixed fee, just tip what you like after the show. All you need is a screen, internet connection and the volume turned up.
