Brian S., Lead Vocals & Harmonica. Brian has fronted several rock bands and  his charismatic energy and solid vocals bring the whole package to the performance and music of this high energy talented group of musicians known as Poppa Groove. Growing up he always loved to sing and perform and was inspired by such frontmen as David Lee Roth, Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger, Michael Hutchence, Eddie Vedder, Roy Orbison, and Elvis to name just a few. When asked how he would label his musical taste, Brian's response was "I don't really categorize myself for the reason of having a very wide musical scope which has helped mold my own unique style". Why and how did he end up becoming a front man? " I loved music at an early age and loved to perform.  I was about 7 years old and played the piano for a year until I had to quit because I could not stay still in one spot too long; same with the drums. The piano teacher was annoyed and told my parents that I would not follow the sheet music by adding notes to a song. Hey, I was only trying to spice it up a bit. I love to perform and capture the audience through my vocals and showmanship."
