Music of the Mountains: Where to be and what to see -- Bryan Bielanski

Some of Bryan Bielanski’s earliest memories occurred in his crib, where he listened to the rock and roll records his parents and sister played. He’s always been in love with music because of this, and he fell in love with it completely by his teenage years.Two albums in particular inspired Bielanski’s journey into music: The Beatles' self-titled album (commonly known as The White Album) and Nirvana’s Nevermind. The variety of The Beatles as an album and the sincerity and energy of Nevermind as an album became the foundation of Bielanski’s musical inspirations.Bielanski started learning guitar, writing songs as soon as he could and playing in a band as a teenager. In the 2010s, he started performing and touring as a solo artist, which served as his transition from music as a hobby into music as a career.Since 2020, Bielanski has released four solo albums, Bryan’s Super Happy Fun Time volumes one through four, and an EP, Free Bird. While he sometimes misses the camaraderie of a touring band, he better appreciates being able to pull a show together on his own, especially with the acoustic guitar style he’s adopted.Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner.
