 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 a
 s insightful, poetic songwriting. He has shared the stage with the lik
 es 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 Pa
 ssionate, acoustic-punk from the heart. Street life, politics, addicti
 on, and moments of beauty, anguish, clarity, and dissent litter the al
 leys of McPherson’s songs. The words are as honest as they are urgen
 t— every second counts! Bryan was born and raised in Dorchester, a b
 lue collar, 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 ly
 rically driven American folk songs of the early 1960’s. His first pe
 rformances were street corners, house parties, and subway stations in 
 Boston’s inner city. In 2001 he burst onto the acoustic music scene 
 of Cambridge MA. Needing a demo, he recorded Folk n Roll MoFo in his b
 edroom, a dark, low fi record chronicling the world of active heroin a
 ddiction and political/​class discontent. In 2003 Bryan took a break
  from performing. 2004 marked his return. Revitalized, with a budget o
 f two hundred and fifteen dollars he released Alive, a live recording 
 from a set at Club Passim. With the songs \"What if Jesus was gay?\" a
 nd \"Neurontin\", Alive gained some international attention and Bryan 
 was featured on Ireland’s website and radio show breakfornews.​com
 , Boston Phoenix.com and WRKO, a talk radio station in Boston. In 2005
  Alive was heard by producer Hendrik Gideonse XIX of Indecent Music, w
 ho offered to produce Bryan. The two struck a deal and went into produ
 ction on Fourteen Stories(2007). 14 Stories has been well received by 
 both critics as well as fans and continues to be bought, burnt and pas
 sed around groups of friends looking for something with a little bit o
 f substance.\n\nFor more information visit http://neighborsforneighbor
