He loves the sound of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Hank Sr. & Jr. Growing up on a small farm in central California gave this farm boy the incentive to create songs that depict life in the country. He started writing songs with a friend, Curtis Marsh, during college. He talked about moving to Nashville many times. His decision to move to Nashville came when a friend dared him to audition for the Nashville Star Show, airing on USA Network. With no prior performing experience Brandon won the local competition and went on to be one of 12 finalist's chosen out of 8000 applicants, to compete on national TV.
He recorded Act Naturally on the Nasvhille Star CD. This was to be his first song performed in front of millions of viewers on national TV. The friends he made and the performing experience on the show fueled his desire to continue with a singing career. He recorded his first CD, THAT BOY AIN'T RIGHT, in Nashville. Brian Kolb helped produce the CD. This CD contains a traditional country sound, with Brandon's unique twist on country life, love and beer drinking. There's a song for country fans of all ages. His voice has traces of Buck Owens, Hank Williams, Jr., Garth Brooks, as quoted by some of his fans who have heard the CD, you be the judge!
Brandon has returned home to California, but continues to perform across the US, from NYC to California. He has opened for Lonestar, Joe Nichols, Trace Adkins and Buddy Jewell, SHeDAISY, Phil Vassar and Tracy Byrd. While performing in Fresno last year, he was presented with a plaque from one of the song writers of Act Naturally, Vonnie Morrison, she loved his performance on NS. The song was originally recorded by Buck Owens and released in March of 1963 and again by Brandon 40 years later in March of 2003.
Track #5, Life Don't Get Much Better than This, has recently been released (April/May 2004) to several hundred stations across the US. Check his website for stations that are playing his CD.
