Brulen (Bruce Bierman) was a young self-taught poly instrumentalist mentored by the great John Lennon beginning when he was just seventeen.
Brulen sings, plays piano, and bass, rhythm and lead guitars and drums as well as being a Lennon-trained and autodidactic songwriter.
Brulen also writes and plays the production parts --- including strings, horns and orchestral arrangements. Brulen produces all his recordings.
Also, as a former sound engineer, Brulen records, mixes and masters everything you hear... except for featured guests as seen in the credits.
For about… infectious and memorable melodies, much like that of The Beatlesand Lennon solo tracks.
