Lifting our veterans through music is something that Brian Tarquin & his Heavy Friends will do until there are no more wars. Brian’s friends include superhero musicians that love working with him on several albums he’s released from hard rock to jazz over the past (20) years). “‘Beyond The Warrior’s Eyes” was released January 19th on Downtown Music honoring military soldiers who defend our freedoms. Traquin says, I wanted a true star-studded musician tribute of soaring instrumental songs. So, I was very fortune to get such iconic players as Jean Luc Ponty, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, and Steve Morse to help me express our gratitude.”
