About Brian

Brian Calhoon (b. 1984, he/him) is a multi-faceted percussionist, singer, and innkeeper based in Provincetown, MA. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Brian sings and plays covers of show tunes and pop covers in an award-winning show he created called MARIMBA CABARET. Brian’s unique arrangements have been described as a “spectacularly fresh take” by composer Adam Gwon. He has released two Marimba Cabaret albums with percussionists Julian Loida and Brian’s duo partner, Greg Jukes.

As a singing marimba player, he has opened for legendary singer Marilyn Maye at Provincetown’s Town Hall and accompanied Broadway’s John Cameron Mitchell on the porch of the Brasswood Inn. As a freelance percussionist, Brian has premiered nearly 100 works by living composers as a member of the Boston Percussion Group, Equilibrium Ensemble, and Juventas New Music Ensemble. Brian holds degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and The Boston Conservatory, and is endorsed by Marimba One.

In another life, Brian was Director of Admissions for The Boston Conservatory before moving to Cape Cod to run a bed & breakfast with his family. Since 2020, Brian and his husband Tom have owned and operated the Brasswood Inn where they enjoy hosting guests and producing outdoor concerts on the inn’s prominent front porch.
