Brendan was raised in the wilds of northwestern Ontario, though not by wolves, as he usually claims.  His first paid gig was as a Buddy Holly impersonator in a traveling Rock 'n' Roll tribute show, at the age of sixteen.  Shortly thereafter, when the act's then-bassist disappeared under mysterious circumstances, Brendan volunteered to learn the instrument and fill the vacancy, and he soon found his skills - not to mention his possession of a bass and amplifier - in demand throughout the region, by bands playing music of many different styles.
Feeling the need to explore new musical territory, and also to escape the harsh Ontario winters, Brendan made the move to Vancouver, and was soon playing and singing with a veritable who's-who of the Celtic music scene there, including The Paperboys, Fear Of Drinking, The Streels, and members of Spirit Of The West, as well as recording and performing with many different Pop, Folk and Roots projects.  At various times, he's also supplemented his music career with occupations such as actor, voiceover artist, puppeteer and toilet salesman.
Brendan currently spends his downtime from The Town Pants re-acquainting himself with his Irish tenor banjo.  He also makes up one-third (the suave, sophisticated third, in fact) of the oddly-named Vancouver pop trio Edmonton Block Heater.
