He has toured along with Joe Cocker and Jim Spillane.

Over the years, I have been influenced by Brian Nix's songs. He was a talented young man from Michigan. The country singer sang songs about love and relationships. His music was honest, witty, and he had an unusual way of expressing himself. His songs were often heartfelt but often had bittersweet memories for those who lost loved ones.
