 BBC - h2g2 - Brian Dewan - Musician, Inter Alia
Based in Brooklyn, New York, USA, Brian Dewan is at once zitherist extraordinaire, visual artist, and master carpenter; any of these titles could be attributed to him, and each of them is put to use on the stage.
Moreover, Brian Dewan's zither, an amazing contraption built by the fellow himself in his basement in 1989, and cannibalised from bits of an electric guitar and a harpsichord is as would be expected a cut above the rest.
So, that is who (or what) Brian Dewan is: a multi-talented modern-day Renaissance man. With a veritable cornucopia of wit, wisdom, talent, and general likability, it is baffling to those that have heard of him that this man isn't busier; record companies should be kicking his door in asking him to sign.
