Brian MacLeod (Canadian musician)
- Brian MacLeod (Canadian musician)
Brian "Too Loud" MacLeod (June 25, 1952 (St. John's, Newfoundland) - April 25, 1992) was a Canadian musician, songwriter and music producer, best known as a member of the bands Chilliwack and The Headpins.
Brian first appeared as a guitarist in the Canadian band Peppertree. In 1978, while working the Ontario bar circuit with Stingaree (which included fellow guitarist Bernie LaBarge) he was invited to join Chilliwack and first appeared on their album "Lights From The Valley". In addition to guitar, Brian occasionally contributed on vocals, drums, and keyboards -- and he eventually co-produced the band's albums, notably "Opus X" (1982) for which he received a Best Producer Juno Award.
With bassist Ab Bryant, Brian initially formed The Headpins as a "side project" to Chilliwack, at least partially as a source of additional income. After "Opus X" Brian left Chilliwack to focus his efforts on The Headpins.
Brian was diagnosed with brain cancer in the late 1980s. After his death in 1992, several friends organised the Brian MacLeod Benefit Concerts which featured some of the best musicians on the Canadian music scene and continued through 1997.
