Brian MacDonald is the exclusive musical artist for Midnight In Nowhere.  If you hear it on the program, it was written and/or recorded by Brian MacDonald.  In fact, the name of the program comes from the title track of his first CD, "Midnight In Nowhere."

When Lou Kelly was developing the idea for the show, he called his friend, Brian MacDonald.  In a long conversation with Brian, Lou recalls, "I was talking to Brian about the show.  I wanted a talk show aimed at people who were going through changes with a little bit of music brought in when the time was right.  I was going to call it 'The Lonely Hearts Club' and I was going to open the show with Elvis doing 'Are You Lonesome Tonight?'.  I was going to play music from all different artists.  'Only The Lonely' by Roy Orbison, 'She Cried' by Jay and the Americans, stuff like that.  As the conversation went on, I thought about having Brian record those songs.  Then I thought, 'Why have him record those songs when he already had a stable of original songs already written and recorded?  And along those lines, why not make him the exclusive artist?'  So, one thing led to another and before you knew it, we were calling the show 'Midnight In Nowhere.'"

A professional musician for over 35 years, Brian has made his mark on the music industry.  He is a gifted songwriter and a talented guitarist but his most salient quality is his extraordinary voice.  From playing local clubs to writing and recording in Nashville, Brian has done it all.

Brian's music is sprinkled throughout the show at appropriate times.  A sleepless caller who was dreaming about her ex-husband might inspire, "Dreams About You."  A man who has been beaten down and expects only the worst that can happen to be the best he can get might trigger, "My Old Friend The Blues."  A caller that has finally accepted the changes that separated he and his wife might give rise to, "She's Got Her Own Life Now." Joining "Midnight In Nowhere" and his second album, "Midnight Expresso," "Wasted Avenue" hits the shelves this summer on the Friday Records label.  Because Brian's music is featured on the show, Midnight In Nowhere listeners get a jump on the rest of the world to hear those new songs before they are available.
