Mynd Reader

Leading the band are Tonin and Brian Sachs (The Authority). Having seen great success in the 90s as the drummer for the pioneering jam band The Authority, Brian has played at iconic venues like Nightingales and was in the house band at the iconic Wetlands. He has shared the stage with acts like Phish, Blues Traveler and Dave Matthews, and has grinded on 200+ tour dates every year over the band’s seven year stretch. However, his trajectory shifted dramatically after the tragic passing of The Authority’s legendary manager, Bill Graham and the band parted ways. Despite this, Brian Sachs never stopped playing and continued drumming and writing songs. Magic hit again when Brian tapped long-time friend and musician, Tonin, who is the glue behind Mynd Reader. With a keen ear for melody and a talent for crafting rich soundscapes, Tonin brings a unique vision to Brian’s lyrics. His collaborative spirit fosters an environment of innovation, where ideas flourish and evolve. Known for his ability to seamlessly blend genres, Tonin's production skills enhance the raw energy of Mynd Reader, helping to shape their powerful sound. Together with Brian, Mynd Reader is excited to bring forth a new sound rooted in the foundations of rock 'n' roll.
