GUITARS / BACKING VOCALS
Preaching Rock N Roll according to the gospel of the blues, Brando brings years of experience to both our music and our stage show. Watch for the big beer bottle slide work and the heavy foot stompin on his side of stage. His weapons of choice are a pair of humbucker clad 1972 Telecasters. From hell.
