About Brian
Jersey roots.
Back in Portland.
Thirty-some years with a guitar, and still more songs to find.
Brian Cammina is a blues-rooted guitarist and singer-songwriter based in Portland, Oregon. With a soulful voice and more than thirty years on guitar, he puts his own acoustic spin on original songs and familiar favorites. He left Portland, made the album dirty little boomtown, and has now returned to the city. His music carries both South Jersey roots and Portland stories. He performs solo and also as a duo with his partner Sarah on harmonies and cajón.
“city of roses” looks back at the Portland he left. Now back in the city, Brian is bringing those songs—and some new stories—into local rooms.
