BRIAN SAUER & THE AMAZING WASTE
Being in a band made making music make sense to Brian Sauer. Brian has played music since he was young. But it wasn't until gigging around Portsmouth and other local former industrial towns while in undergrad that the act of creating new music became a calling. The band's leader wrote hundreds of songs in an old, coverless spiral notebook. Some of his songs made sense of a confusing world; some songs made no sense at all. The band loved those songs and cherish them to this day, long after the amps went silent and they went their separate ways. Brian learned a lot from those times, but the most important lesson was that the act of creation is a noble and worthwhile endeavor in and of itself. Even if only the creator hears the final product, channeling the wider world and funneling it into a song gives a tangible voice to what's often overlooked, enriching all who partake in the process.
