Unless you know Brandon well, you might not realize he is a musician and songwriter. He’s been writing and playing since the age of 15, but has always worked on his craft as a hobby.
Brandon often wonders, “what if I had gone all in as a musician? I’d probably be on a much different path in my life, whether good or bad. Luckily, I still get to enjoy music in different ways and I’ll play live for the occasional backyard family cookout!”
