The combined talents and direction of Josh (producer/bass/multi-instrumentalist) and stunning vocals and stage presence of Brianna, armed with a powerful cast of musicians (Eric Novak - Lead Guitar, Hannah Joy Brooke - Keys/Backing Vocals, Hayden Gardner - Drums), culminates in a dynamic and exhilarating live show, that captivates audiences wherever they perform. The intoxicating experience of B & The Hive continually lands them at top venues and festivals on the West Coast (Great American Music Hall, Vina Robles Amphitheater, Mountain Winery, Henry Miller Library, Hotel Cafe, Humphrey's by the Bay, Bottle Rock, Live Oak, & Whalerock Music Festivals) supporting world-renowned artists (Alanis Morrisette, Goo Goo Dolls, Ben Harper, Elvis Costello, Chris Isaak, Lucinda Williams, Allen Stone).
