The Brian Delaney Quartet, is the brainchild of multi-faceted guitarist and leader Brian Delaney. Since its’ inception, Delaney hand-picked the players to create an aesthetic which emphasizes lyricism, pleasant harmonies and spare but liquid musical arrangements of the Golden Era of American popular song.The Brian Delaney Quartet devotes itself to rendering 20th century popular song with clarity and style, and their unique ensemble sound. With trumpet, electric guitar, acoustic rhythm guitar and string bass, this is a band that can interpret melodies from the Great American Songbook in a way that is framed in lyricism, playful arrangements and improvisation. BDQ has a knack for making each tune their own and walking a knife edge between joyful expression and endearing accessibility.
The Pemberville Opera House was built in 1892 and completely restored to its’ original glory in 1999. Built as a true theater on the second floor, the opera house completely handicapped accessible.
