***On behalf of all the fans of Bonerama, I would like to dedicate this show to Brian O'Neill***
1955 - 2005
Trombonist, composer, arranger, vocalist, pianist Brian O'Neill passed away suddenly Thursday
afternoon (12/16/05) after suffering an apparent heart attack while on a solo piano gig in
New Orleans, LA. He was a character member of the New Orleans based trombone troupe since their
first show in 1998. O'Neill was noted for his work with Wayne Cochran and the CC Riders in the
1970's as well as being a mainstay of the popular New Orleans R&B vocalist Luther Kent's band
"Trick Bag" for the past 25 years. In Bonerama, O'Neill was one of the most frequently called
trombonists in New Orleans over the past 25 years. In Bonerama, O'Neill penned the most recent
"Bone Up" from the LIVE From New York CD and also appeared in countless sit ins with the Bonerama
horns including appearances with Gov't Mule and the Radiators.
Fellow Bonerama trombonist Mark Mullins recalls, "I met Brian on a gig at a Mardi Gras parade 21
years ago and after the first song I realized that is what I wanted to sound like. To have him in the
Bonerama band was just a constant inspiration on both a personal and musical level. There was so
much he had not had a chance to say yet..." Bonerama trombonist Craig Klein adds, "He really loved
playing the trombone and it was a passion that brought us all together. He is and will always be our
bone brother. I love him and will truly miss him in so many ways."
