Brendan learned his music from his father, Felix Dolan, a legendary accompanist of Irish traditional music.
Brendan has recorded extensively, most recently on the CD "Live at Mona's", with Patrick Ourceau and Eamon O'Leary. In addition to Irish music, Brendan holds a degree in Jazz Performance and spent several years in the acclaimed Andy Statman Quartet playing Klezmer music, including a tour with Itzhak Perlman.
His touring has taken him as far afield as Ireland with Brian Conway, Alaska with the Cathie Ryan Band, and Poland with Andy Statman. Brendan presently resides in Brooklyn, NY, where he plays music and teaches privately.
