Brian Cline Band

Later in 2001, BCB dropped the recording label due to "reimbursable costs", the band fell apart mainly due to the long distances between band members and heavy gigging schedule. Brian changed the strategy to becoming the premier Northern CA and Napa Valley band and changed the line up to Jason McGrath on 5-string fretted/fretless basses and vocals, David Parker on drums/percussion and vocals, and Dan Hayes on electric guitar and vocals.

In 2005, BCB released Got it Covered, a 14 song CD. The CD was recorded live at Napa's Chef's Market in the 2004 season and documents some of BCB's covers that they often play at live shows. The 10 cover songs range from Stevie Wonder's " Superstition" to James Taylor's " Fire & Rain". Also included are four originals, two remakes of originals from Hold the Keys and Within Without . The CD was also Brian's first recording engineer debut. This recording captures the energy of BCB's live shows and also exemplifies some of the creative reworkings of classic songs that they often perform at their shows. The group has over 10 original songs they haven't recorded yet, and if the gig schedule ever lightens up a bit, you can expect another release in the future.

Dan Hayes specializes in filling out the textures and putting the finishing touches on the soundscape. "Textural color" comes to mind when thinking of Dan's playing. A quintessential pro, he always plays the right note at the right time, adding the perfect chord, the perfect solo, or the perfect accent to a section. Dan shares many of the same influences with the rest of the guys and has a modern edge, which he adds to the band. Dan is the lead "rapper" and plays samples, emulates horn and piano parts and is the all around versatility guy. Dan is the reason we can do what we do and not hire a keyboardist. All texture aside, the guy can rip a solo with the best of them.

Dan is the "idea" man in the band. His noodlings are integral to the band's songwriting, as they are often the basis for new songs or new sections in the writing process. He is also the first to come up with a cool tone or sound that gets the band's creative juices flowing.
