Brian Alan Hager is an Indie Rock singer/songwriter, guitarist and vocalist based in Cleveland, Ohio. He performs solo or with The Brian Alan Hager Band in Ohio, PA, Indiana and other parts of the eastern US. The Brian Alan Hager Band performs reinterpreted versions of his material in an indie rock jam band type format. His music features tasteful acoustic and electric guitars, synthesizers and guitar melodies resulting in a blend of soulful indie pop, rock, blues and alternative music. His style crosses genres and some of his influences include John Mayer, The Black Keys, The Black Crowes, Arctic Monkeys, Dawes, The Record Company and The Rolling Stones.
Brian's first release, "The Condition of Things", released in January of 2022, is guitar and synth-based music that fuses elements of alternative, indie, and rock. The lyrics touch on personal struggles, negative and positive thinking, the loss of loved ones, relationship issues, and spiritual healing. His second album "Rock and Soul" was released in phases throughout 2023 and 2024 and continue on similar topics with more of a rock, electric guitar driven sound mixed with elements of soul music. All his music is available from online streaming services.
His unique live performances mix acoustic, electric and bass guitar by recording loops on the fly, then applying vocals over those loops. This technique, blended with percussion loops create a full sound, which may also include improvised blues, rock and jazz guitar solos. His live shows also include popular pop and rock cover songs from all eras (Sample Cover Song List).
