NEWS - Andy Branton "Dad Rock Bands"
"Dad Rock Bands was a song that just flew of me and my wife's brains fully formed."
Louisville, Kentucky based, Americana-blues artist Andy Branton cut his teeth playing guitar in Americana and rock & roll bands around the West Alabama bar scene. After years of collecting stories and songs while driving up and down Alabama’s highways and dirt roads, he self-released his debut EP 47 Minutes Away in late 2018. Andy assembled a crack team of Birmingham, Alabama’s finest musicians - including Adrian Marmolejo of Early James & the Latest (Dan Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound) and Les Nuby formerly of Verbena (Capital Records) - to commit his songs to tape. The band worked its magic, cranking out the tunes in just one 8-hour session. One of the highlights from the record, the ballad Time to Go hauntingly captures the utter doneness you can feel when finally leaving a place. It predicts Andy’s eventual move to Louisville, Kentucky as he sings about driving on “northbound 65” with “a new direction now.” Now you can find Andy making his way around the Southeast - ever writing, ever singing, ever playing, and ever moving.
