BAKER CITY — Brady Goss
doesn’t remember a time when he
wasn’t near the piano.
“I started when I was probably
four years old,” he said.
But his fascination started long
before that.
“There’s a picture of me in
diapers, reaching up to touch the
piano,” he said.
He learned to play by watching
his dad.
“I’d sit on his lap and watch his
hands,” he said.
Goss said he has a photographic
memory, and he could recall the
patterns of the songs his dad
played.
“I’d memorize what his hands
were doing as the music was
coming out,” he said. “That’s how I
learn music — by watching, listen-
ing and remembering.”
He started singing at age 15.
Now 31, Goss has toured the na-
tion for the last 15 years.
This weekend he will play for the
Powder River Music Review, start-
ing at 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 4, at
Geiser-Pollman Park in Baker City.
The concert is free and open to
the public, although donations are
welcome. Raffl e tickets to support
the series are sold at each perfor-
mances ($5 each or 15 for $20) for
the chance to win a gift basket.
Powder River Music Review is
organized by Baker City Events.
Goss has played for the Baker
City music series for about six
years.
He tours to play at county fairs,
music festivals, and other venues.
He’s been all over the United
States.
“East Coast to West Coast,” he
said.
He plays solo about 75% of the

time. The rest of his concerts are
with a band. His genres range from
blues and jazz to country and clas-
sic rock.
He’s released three albums, and
worked on another during the
pandemic, and is also building a
recording studio at his home near
Portland.
Although last summer was quiet
on the music front — he worked for
an excavating company for a few
months — he’s back on the stage
this year.
“I’ve got come pretty cool book-
ings this summer,” he said.
And he mixes it up for every
show.
“I’m a feel player,” he said. “I
want it to fl ow out of me — not
play the same thing at every show.
It becomes an emotional, spiritual
experience.”
