Brian Albert Gordon Auger (born 18 July 1939) is an English jazz rock and rock keyboardist who specialises in the Hammond organ.
Auger
has worked with Rod Stewart, Tony Williams, Jimi Hendrix, John
McLaughlin, Sonny Boy Williamson, Eric Burdon, and CAB. He has
incorporated jazz, early British pop, R&B, soul music, and rock into
his sound. He has been nominated for a Grammy Award.
In 1965, Auger
played on "For Your Love" by The Yardbirds as a session musician. He was brought in to play the Hammond organ, but settled for the only
available keyboard, the harpsichord. That same year, Auger formed the
group The Steampacket with Long John Baldry, Julie Driscoll, Vic
Briggs, and Rod Stewart. Due to contractual problems there were no
official recordings made by the band; nevertheless, nine tracks were
laid down for promotional use in late 1965 and released as an LP in 1970
in France on the BYG label. They were released on a CD by Repertoire
Records in 1990 (licensed from Charly Records) as well as 12 live tracks
from Live at the Birmingham Town Hall, February 2, 1964. Stewart left
in early 1966 and soon thereafter the band broke up.
