Brian Verrochi was born in Dorchester, MA and grew up in Quincy, MA, a
suburb of Boston. The second youngest of four sisters and one brother, he was
introduced to the bass at age eleven.
Brian enhanced his musical training by studying piano and voice. He
was a student at the Boston Archdioceson Choir School for a total of four
years, where he studied under John Dunn.
Immediately after graduation from Boston College High School in 1995,
where he studied Jazz Theory under Matt Finnegan, Brian was granted a
scholarship to
Berklee where he concentrated on the upright and electric bass under the
guidance of Jim Stinnette. Within that same year, he received the
prestigious "Louis Armstrong Jazz Achievement Award."
Embracing many styles of music, Brian focuses his talent on Rock, Jazz,
Blues, and Funk. It is this diversity that he brought to SEVEN 13 in 1999. Since that time, Brian's contributions to the band have
been a stalwart of skill, volume, and endurance.
