Briar Road is the collaboration between three musicians which began in 2010 when Dan Zahn and Kate Moretti started recording an album at Rusty's studio in South Elgin, IL. One recording project turned into another and by the time the second recording was completed, Rusty joined the trio and they became BRIAR ROAD. Since that time they have performed at coffee houses, festivals, folk clubs, libraries and museums through out the Midwest. Using guitar, mandolin, ukulele, banjo and bass, along with their vocal harmonies, they create unique captivating arrangements of a wide variety of tunes ranging from traditional and contemporary folk and blues to jazz and swing standards including original songs by Dan and some of their songwriting pals. Their on stage presence has been described as spontaneous with quick witted humor.
