In 2023, Brian Citro reunited with drummer Quin Kirchner to form a quartet with saxophonist Mai Sugimoto, and bassist Matt Ulery. Nick Mazzarella later replaced Mai as the group evolved. Brian and Quin made music earlier as part of Salamander with multi-instrumentalist Charles Gorczynski and bassist Mark Van Ziegler. The quartet performs Brian’s compositions, featuring rich harmonies, memorable melodies, unique song structures, and a range of rhythms and feels.

Following a 2024 residency at Dorian’s Through the Record Shop in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood, Brian received an award from the City of Chicago’s Individual Artists Program (IAP) to record and produce an album. The result is a collection of 14 original compositions titled Keep Moving (Home), performed by the quartet and recorded to tape by engineer Dave Vettraino at Chicago’s Palisade Studio. Forthcoming in 2026 on Calligram Records, the music flows from Brian’s experiences as a musician and human rights lawyer living in India and traveling in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
