 th Huntington Avenue, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts 02130\nCost: Always
  Free\n\nBryan is a regular performer on the boston and New York music
  scene. He is known for his intense live performances, as well as insi
 ghtful, poetic songwriting. He has shared the stage with the likes of 
 rock and roll legend Chuck Berry, The Neighborhoods, Chad Smith of The
  Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kate Taylor to name a few. This is Passiona
 te, acoustic-punk from the heart. Street life, politics, addiction, an
 d moments of beauty, anguish, clarity, and dissent litter the alleys o
 f McPherson’s songs. The words are as honest as they are urgent— e
 very second counts! Bryan was born and raised in Dorchester, a blue co
 llar, working class neighborhood in Boston. He was inspired at a young
  age by the raw energy and angst of Punk Rock, as well as the lyricall
 y driven American folk songs of the early 1960’s. His first performa
 nces were street corners, house parties, and subway stations in Boston
 ’s inner city. In 2001 he burst onto the acoustic music scene of Cam
 bridge MA. Needing a demo, he recorded Folk n Roll MoFo in his bedroom
 , a dark, low fi record chronicling the world of active heroin addicti
 on and political/class discontent. In 2003 Bryan took a break from per
 forming. 2004 marked his return. Revitalized, with a budget of two hun
 dred and fifteen dollars he released Alive, a live recording from a se
 t at Club Passim. With the songs \"What if Jesus was gay?\" and \"Neur
 ontin\", Alive gained some international attention and Bryan was featu
 red on Ireland’s website and radio show breakfornews.com, Boston Pho
 enix.com and WRKO, a talk radio station in Boston. In 2005 Alive was h
 eard by producer Hendrik Gideonse XIX of Indecent Music, who offered t
 o produce Bryan. The two struck a deal and went into production on Fou
 rteen Stories(2007). 14 Stories has been well received by both critics
  as well as fans and continues to be bought, burnt and passed around g
 roups of friends looking for something with a little bit of substance.
