Man on land

Man On Land is a collectively led trio between pianist Brian Friedland, bassist Greg Loughman, and drummer Austin McMahon.  Their original music places a great emphasis on melody, narrative, atmosphere, and interaction, seamlessly blending together their distinct compositional voices.  Original songs like Northwest Passage, Listen, and Praise Be The Mammal display these values, evoking a range of mysterious, contemplative, and humorous moods.  The versatility and imagination of their live performances have created a loyal following in the Boston area throughout a decade of active performances.  Individually, Brian, Greg, and Austin play with a wide swath of renowned Boston artists and can be heard on dozens of recordings.
