Brian McDowell has been playing the acoustic guitar with Don Loney while in high school together, entertaining parties with their folksy tunes. Together with Don he joined Rizing Tide which was formed by Ron Nater and Pauline Nault after Ron and Pauline’s stint with Rhythm ‘n Blue, venturing into electric rhythm guitar and powerful vocal territory.

Brian blends his soulful voice and smooth guitar to energize the Ron Nater Band’s Chicago style electric blues & vintage tunes and makes his home in Ajax, Ontario.
