Brian was born in Meriden, Connecticut in 1972 and was introduced to music by his mother, Catherine. At 17, he was playing with jazz greats like Lou Donaldson and Houston Person. Since graduating on the Dean's List from UConn with a BA in Music in 1994, Charette has been performing frequently in Europe and the US, with East Village, NYC as his home base. Brian is a fixture in the NYC center scene and works with virtually everyone who plays with an organist.
Brian has performed with many famous artists including Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan, Paul Simon, Cyndi Lauper, Oz Noy, Vinnie Colaiuta, John Patitucci, and many more. Brian gives masterclasses worldwide and is a faculty member at the Czech Summer Jazz Workshop at the Jesek Conservatory in Prague. In NYC, he teaches private and group lessons at The New School and 92nd Y School of Music. His first book, 101 Hammond B3 Tips, published by Hal Leonard, has become very popular, as have his videos on mymusicmasterclass.com. Brian is currently ranked #2 on the 2023 Downbeat Critic's Poll for Organ and also won the 2023 "Rising Star: Keyboard" award. Brian was also the winner of the 2014 Downbeat Critics' Poll "Rising Star: Organ" award and Hot House Magazine's 2015 "Fan's Decision Jazz Award for Best Organist". Charette's new Cellar Live release, Jackpot, was recorded in Rudy Van Gelder's sacred studio with Bill Stewart on drums. The album received 4 stars from Downbeat and was on the Jazzweek radio chart for months, peaking at #9 for 6 weeks.
