Around the World (2014-mid 2018) Brislin spent a portion of 2014 as a guest faculty member at the Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music outside of Chennai, India. In 2015, he traveled to Sweden to play keyboard for the Jon Anderson (Yes)/ Roine Stolt (Flower Kings) collaborative album Invention of Knowledge. He briefly rejoined Meat Loaf’s band on tour in 2016, filling in on piano/vocals for Justin Avery. Later that year, he co-founded a program called Accessing Music Promoting Success with musician/occupational therapist Karen Kowalski.
