He hales from Memphis, has been blowing the harp and singing since age 15. His live shows will flat out get your feet moving and knock your socks off! It's traditional blues with a side of soul that Brandon Santini specializes in. The Band is tight, turns on a dime and entertains the audience with non -stop music from start to finish. Brandon's harmonica licks capture the essence of James Cotton and Paul Butterfield wrapped up into one as Santini lays down some spellbinding modern renditions of Blues Standards. Timo Arthur is The Man on lead & rhythm guitar and complements Brandon's harp and singing in a way that showcases his immense talent as they feed off of each other on every song! Rounding out the rhythm section is Steady Nick Hern on bass guitar and David Green is a force to be reckoned with on drums.
The current album out for only a few months is: Live And Extended! - Nicely produced it captures the dynamic energy of a Live Santini show and is the next best thing to being there front row and center. Brandon's rendition of Slim Harpo's ; Got Love If You Want It - nails it! Elevate Me Mama satisfies the listeners craving for sultry slow blues. My Backscratcher is a stand out as well.
To sum things up, I urge you to give Brandon Santini a serious listen - download Live And Extended then get out and see him when he comes to your town! It's definitely a win win situation.
