Serendipity: the experience of making unexpected, fortunate, happy,
providential discoveries accidentally.
 

It is a rare opportunity when one discovers something in sound and immediately knows to listen carefully. There is that magic in Brian Rolland's unique compositions and exceptional guitar style. His music is rooted in a lifetime of study and subsequent mastery of the classical instrument. This mastery flows innately through the lyrical masses we know as folk, country, rock,blues and with outstanding finesse travels though the progressional phases of Jazz.
