Always in search of new challenges and experiences, at some point Bryan discovered that he enjoyed performing "unplugged", solo, without his band. After a few tentative gigs with just him and his guitar, the "bare bones" format began to take shape.  With the addition of brilliant pianist Gary Breit, Bryan embarked on a seemingly endless tour of small, elegant halls, touching down on nearly every continent.

The "Bare Bones" CD is a collection of "live" performances from the open-ended tour of the same name.
