Brandon Payne is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist originally from Mansfield, PA. Brandon currently plays in and around the Pittsburgh area. Brandon plays a wide variety of music from all decades and genres as well as an extensive original music catalog.
Brandon was gifted a white Percussion Plus drumset from his grandparents while in high school. He began listening to albums and playing along to his favorite bands at the time.
After a few years, he soon put down the sticks and focused on his guitar playing. Brandon learned to play guitar by listening (more than a few times) to artists such as John Mayer, Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Jeff Buckley, etc. Brandon started a band in high school, "Free Popcorn," in which he played the drums while he was learning and playing the guitar.
Playing in multiple bands in college (under.escape) as well as after college (Mr. Jones and Me, The Usual Suspects, and Slant 6), he had the enjoyment of playing all kinds of shows all over the northeast, Las Vegas, Nashville, Dublin, Ireland, and Aberdeen, Scotland.
*All recorded original songs are written, recorded and performed by Brandon.
