Brian & The Coconutz
Brian Varhelyi
began piano lessons at age 7 and wrote his first song later
that year. By age 11, he had his first band and first gig.
In 1980, he began playing in the rock arena with
Arthur's Museum, a Pennsylvania club mainstay. Band
guitarist, Richie Kotzun went on to record with Shrapnel
Records, using Brian as his vocalist.
After a while, Brian went on to begin a long run with female
vocalist, Phebe Blessington, and with her, rose to the top
of the Philadelphia club scene. Phebe and Brian packed clubs
with hundreds of fans every night of the week. In addition,
Phebe and Brian were the live house band of the Y-100
Barskey morning show for 6 years. After that show ended,
Brian continued to record song parodies and music beds
for the station.
Phebe was killed suddenly in 1997; Brian stopped playing for
a few years. He started to come back gradually as a solo
artist, and then decided to put together Brian and the
Coconutz; the best beach music/party/Buffet band EVER. You
really need to hear their 4 part Beach Boy harmonies to
believe the quality of this band. If you want a unique,
talented, and totally fun band for your next event, hire
Brian and the Coconutz. If your budget is tight, we can cut
the band into smaller pieces, all the way down to one; that
one is Brian, and you've never heard a single that can be a
one man band remotely as talented
as this musician. Do yourself a favor, listen to the audio
cuts, and check out the video of Brian playing live with
Jimmy Buffet at the E Center.
