Piano Bar Thursday with Mr. B & JUlian VAN Slyke

  • North Star Lounge 301 North 5th Avenue Ann Arbor, MI, 48104 United States (map)

Blues and boogie-woogie pianist Mark Lincoln Braun has become one of the premiere purveyors of a vanishing art. Having learned his craft first-hand from the early masters, he is a rare living link to the first generation of blues and boogie pianists. Steeped in the rich legacy of this tremendously exciting music, Mr. B learned directly from blues and boogie legends like Little Brother Montgomery, Boogie Woogie Red, and Blind John Davis.

Julian attended Washtenaw Community College, where he was member of the WCC Jazz Orchestra as well as Wayne State University where he majored in Jazz Studies was a member of the Jazz Lab Band and The Jazztet. Julian has taught privately for many years as well as the instructor for the Beginning Jazz Drum course at Washtenaw Community College for over 10 years. Julian has worked in almost every situation possible, from Musical Theatre to Drum & Bugle Corps to Jazz to Rock, Blues to R&B and Gospel Julian has played and recorded with top performers from every genre. Julian holds down the drummer’s chair for the the “C” Notes Trio led by Mark Loduca Sr.
