Also known as the Beaver, Ian Brighton hails from the vibrant and musical town of Lyons, Colorado, where he often rides his bikes to gigs or meets up to sit-in with friends and fellow musicians. Specializing in a diverse range of genres including Americana, folk, and Brazilian music, Ian has had the pleasure of performing with many talented local, regional, and national acts such as Samba Dende, Michele Castro, Ginga, Devotchka, the Motet, Billy Shaddox, the 89’s, and Bonnie and the Clydes. His current creative project involves meticulously pulling together and refining his collection of original songs to culminate in his debut album, aptly titled The Family Trees.
