Bryan Wood discovered at a young age that music was his passion. Bryan Wood spent two years playing guitar and performing lead vocals with several local bands. In August 2005, Bryan released his first CD 'A Reason To Carry On' with his former band The Excluded. This was a great milestone for Bryan at 16 years old. This CD was a mix of acoustic and electric sounds and was enjoyed by young and old alike. Bryan is now performing his solo hard-edge acoustic Christian music with plans to branch out in the Northwest. His new solo CD 'Broken' was released in July of 2006. In a remarkably short time, Bryan has written over 40 songs. Songwriting, singing, and playing guitar is his way of communicating encouragement and hope to the world. He wants his music to show people that God can bring hope and peace to us and help us rise above the sadness and pain we sometimes experience. Above the pain and problems of this world, God can bring us to a place of peace and strength and give us hope to carry on. No matter where you are at in life, God is there ready to meet up with you. Inspired by Romans 15:13: May the God of hope fill you all with joy and peace as you trust in Him so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
