We will be adding more info, demos, and videos in the near future.
"Hi everyone ! Welcome to the new BAM webpage. BAM is a new trio I have formed with fellow AjaVu and Steelin' Chicago Lead Singer Andy Morales. We added the talented Mike Renwick on guitar. Little known to fans of AjaVu is that Andy also plays drums. We wanted to do music outside of our concert schedule with AjaVu and Steelin' Chicago so we could explore and play other styles of music. Our repertoire spans decades of great music right up to present day. Please watch and listen to the demo to get an idea and hear the band. These are NOT the original artist recordings. This is us playing !! Enjoy.... "
"Ever gig is different. No one size fits all. Having a huge repertoire allows BAM to change vibes whenever needed. Sometimes light instrumental background music is appropriate, and sometimes vocals and dance is the ticket. We cover it all... Below is a small taste of some instrumental background music.
Background Instrumental Music
My version of the Grover Washington hit "Mr. Magic".
A beautiful Burt Bacharach song done instrumentally.
My arrangement of summertime. On request, BAM can add a sax or trumpet player to the trio for more variety.
Here is a James Taylor tune we do as an instrumental. On request, BAM can add a sax player as we did here featuring Tom Politzer from "Tower Of Power".
A little R&B as an instrumental. Featuring Tom Politzer from "Tower Of Power" on sax.
Another beautiful instrumental. Featuring Tom Politzer from "Tower Of Power" on flute.

"I hired Brian and BAM to entertain at my wife's surprise 60th birthday party at our home. Brian was very flexible and helpful in finding the right music plan for the occasion. Their music was excellent and my wife was very pleasantly surprised. Especially when they sang one of her favorite Elvis Costello songs and it even got our 2 year old grandson up to dance with Grammy. Would definitely recommend Brian & BAM."
Matt W.
"Brian & BAM played at our holiday party (30-40 ppl). Everyone loved the music and the band. They read the room well and played to the audience. They were awesome."
Tina M.
"We hired BAM for an event at our facility. His music was awesome! Our customers were very happy. We will hire him again in the future."
