Owner | Music Therapist - Board Certified | JHUI - Level 3 Certified Teacher
Brian Lee Bauer, MT-BC
Hi! I'm Brian. At a young age my grandfather introduced me to music. He encouraged me to explore the ukulele, piano and guitar. While working towards my music therapy degree at Maryville University, I became more interested in singing and songwriting.
In 2007, I co-founded the gothic Americana rock band Strawfoot. My songwriting, vocals, and contributions on the 5-string banjo have been called "relentless, growling, flint-eyed highlight" by the Riverfront Times.
In 2012, I founded Mimic Music Services to provide the best acoustic music education, entertainment, and therapy available in St. Louis, MO, and beyond!​​​
