Brandon Holland is living out a dream his own father never got the chance to fulfill, and every time he picks up a guitar he’s thankful for the chance to express his talent and follow in the footsteps of his talented dad, a musician who passed away when Brandon was just 5 years old. Growing up in a family steeped in country heritage and musical traditions that reach as far back as the early 1900’s, Brandon was surrounded by music from the time he was born. He grew up influenced by the sounds of legends like Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, and Fats Domino through his grandfather, who gave him his first guitar at 11, and by 12 he was already writing his own songs and playing dances as a teen.

As a young artist Brandon played cello and drums in school as well and was also influenced heavily by the soulful sounds of artists like Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, and later Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Chris Daughtry, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean, and played in bands around the St. Louis area for several years before electing to relocate to Nashville to try his hand at a serious musical career. His first EP yielded a successful single on secondary radio, and he has recently been hard at work on the followup to that project, “Born To Roll”.
