    Brian Calhoon (b. 1984, he/him) is a multi-faceted musician, innkeeper, and admissions consultant. Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Brian specializes in music for the marimba and his voice and can be heard performing show tunes and pop covers in an award-winning show he created called the Marimba Cabaret. Alongside percussionist and duo partner, Greg Jukes, they have performed their creative covers from coast to coast and were a Critics Choice pick at the 2017 Portland Fringe Festival. Since 2020, Marimba Mondays have become a summer staple of the front porch at the Brasswood Inn on Commercial Street in Provincetown.

    Over the years, Brian has worked with significant musicians of our time including Lyle Mays, Julia Wolfe, the Borromeo String Quartet and his former teachers, Jack Van Geem and Nancy Zeltsman. In 2020, Brian personally accompanied legendary jazz singer Marilyn Maye and Broadways John Cameron Mitchell at a porch concert in Provincetown. As a singing marimbist, several composers have written pieces for Brian and he has performed this unique repertoire across the U.S. and Asia, most recently at the 2021 Percussive Arts Society International Convention.

    Brian was previously Director of Admissions for The Boston Conservatory and is now an independent admissions consultant for My College Audition. He holds degrees from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and The Boston Conservatory, and is a Marimba One endorsed artist. In 2020, Brian and his husband Tom moved to Cape Cod to own and operate the Brasswood Inn where they enjoy hosting guests and producing concerts on the inns prominent front porch.
