Billy Brandt http://www.billybrandt.com has shared the stage with such icons as Pat Benetar and Jethro Tull, and worked on tour with 38 Special. He's the winner of multiple Detroit Music Awards including Best Acoustic Vocalist, Best Folk Artist, Best Instrumentalist, Best Country Songwriter, Best Recording as well as almost two dozen additional DMA nominations with other bands. Influenced by the likes of Gram Parsons to the Grateful Dead, Billy Brandt has molded his sound by creating his own unique guitar picking that creates a haunting melody which stays with the listener long after the song is over. Playing over 300 gigs a year has earned him the title of one of Detroit's hardest working artists.
