About
Singer/Songwriter Brian Halloran has been playing in and around NYC for 20 years. With the completion of his album 'Disquiet' in July 2020, he decided to release it and all future works under the nom de guerre Brian In The Museum (originally meant to be "Museum" but changed to avoid confusion with numerous other acts). The rationale behind adopting the name was to free the music from the constraints of the traditional singer/songwriter paradigm, following the example of acts like Nine Inch Nails, Bon Iver, St. Vincent, etc.. The first album, 'Disquiet' was performed entirely by Halloran, but subsequent albums will enlist an ever expanding roster of musicians. Two followup albums, 'Goodbye, Virginia' & 'Overnumrousness', were released on December 3rd, 2020. The fourth album, 'The Cocktail Hour', will be out in 2021.
Press
“With “I Got Nothing for You,” we get an incredibly straightforward message that works because of the weight behind it. The instrumentation doesn’t necessarily show off in any one area, but I believe that is because it is keeping such a solid backing for the vocals which are ultimately delivering the message. All in all, Brian in the Museum has definitely captured a nostalgic sound with a pertinent message.” - Jordan Drazen
