Brian Richburg Jr. ~ drums Morgan Guerin ~ sax & ewi Ely Perlman ~ guitar Mike King ~ keyboards Ryoma Takenaga ~ bass BRIAN RICHBURG JR. is a prodigious drummer who started honing his craft at the age of 5, inspired by his father, the legendary musician and pastor Brian Richburg Sr. from New Orleans. With a deep-rooted passion and exposure to his hometown's eclectic sounds and cultural mix, Brian's drumming seamlessly fuses blues and gospel from church with African and Caribbean-inspired rhythms of the New Orleans street bands. Brian' has earned several accolades, including the prestigious ASCAP Louis Prima Award and scholarships to both Berklee College of Music's undergraduate and Master's programs. Despite his young age, he has toured extensively, performing with jazz legends such as Nicholas Payton, Big Chief Donald Harrison Jr., Ellis Marsalis, Delfeayo Marsalis, Amina Figarova, Joanne Bracken, and many others. His impressive resume includes performances at music festivals like Montreal, Newport, Nice, Washington D.C., and Jazz a la Villette in Paris. He has also shared the stage with Grammy Award winners Joss Stone, Marsha Ambrosius, Jon Batiste, Chief Adjuah (formally Christian Scott a Tunde Adjuah), McKenna Grace, Joanne Bracken, Leo Nocentelli, Cautious Clay, and Cisco Swank. Brian's recent recording on Chief Adjuah's latest conceptual release 'Bark out Thunder Roar Out Lightning' is a testament to his versatility. He effortlessly blends the folkloric styles, ceremonial and ritual practices of the Maroon and Afro-Indigenous Chiefdoms, and culture of New Orleans with Stretch Music, resulting in a tour de force of Afro-New Orleanian and West African expression where music, dance, and cultures unite. Brian has founded his own project entitled "New Legaxy', collaborating consistently with 5 different musicians from across the U.S. Their sound is like no other, only to be compared to a gumbo which blends rhythms from Congo Square, blues of Memphis, Kompa rhythms of Haiti, and the country flares of Virginia. Brian is also a regular fixture at New York City's Nublu Club, where he joins a unique blend of young musicians led by Ray Angry in jamming sessions every Monday. Although he resides and works in the city, he frequently embarks on tours across the globe and returns to his beloved New Orleans to perform.
