Brian Hobbs Music

Second Glances is a look back at my songwriting over the last 30 years. It is an instrumental album featuring some of the most outstanding musicians in Sweden and the US. A smooth mix of bossa nova, jazz and latin influenced music. The songs on this album have spanned my entire career; the earliest song was written in 1977.

I’d like to thank a number of people who have helped and supported me over the years: here they are in no particular order- My parents and grandparents, Denise Hobbs Brothers, Gary Hobbs, Bill O’ Connell, Scott C. Callaway, everyone I ever played together with in the NHS band, Tom & Mary Cherry, Wesley Gragson, Donald McCoy, David Albert, Jeanne Milbrath, Steve & Donna Sorrow, David & Dara Penn, Chris Kuhn, Chris Barone, Fia Hobbs, Jeremy Hobbs, Adam Hobbs, Rusty, Kurt & Ingrid Åkerman, Andreas Aleman, Marcus Black, Johan Becker, Leif Larsson, Monica Silverstrand, Jonna & Peter Thomasson, Peter Getz, all the excellent musicians on this album; Wojtek Goral, Paul Pesonen, Anna Landström, Helen Olofsson, Tom Beimel, Mikael Berg Andersson, Patrik Skogh, Derrik Jordan, all my collaborators over the years, friends and family in the US and friends and family in Sweden, all the artists who have performed my songs, Skip Kennon at the BMI Musical theater workshop, Nancy Ford at the ASCAP musical theater workshop and all the other people who have ventured in and out of my life.

At “Second Glance” I’m very thankful for all of you.
