Brian Citro, guitar and compositions
 

A 2025 City of Chicago Individual Artist Program awardee, Brian Citro has been playing and writing music for 35 years. His new album, Keep Moving (Home), on Calligram Records features his “lyrical yet modern guitar playing” (Fareed Haque) on 14 original compositions performed by his quartet. Recorded to tape by engineer Dave Vettraino at Chicago’s Palisade Studio, the album presents an “emotionally resonant … convergence of composition, performance, sound, and visual presentation” (Paris Move). The music flows from Brian’s experiences as a musician and human rights lawyer living in India and traveling in Africa and beyond. 
 
Organist and Hammond Musical Instruments Artist Dan Chase is a first-call keyboardist on the Chicago music scene. Drummer Peter Mack rounds out the trio, with deep experience performing and leading his own Chicago Jamaican Jazz Ensemble. The group performs Brian’s compositions and music by Pat Metheny, Frank Ocean, Todd Rundgren, Carole King, and others.


Here, the organ trio performs Pat Metheny’s composition Mississippi Uncompromised from his seminal album Bright Size Life: https://www.briancitro.com/videos/v/brian-citro-organ-trio-missouri-uncompromised-fitzgeralds-sidebar-berwyn-il
