"Impossibly talented" is the description you'll hear time and again of this amazing performer,
but IT'S TRUE! Not just because he can play two guitars at the same time - brilliantly - but he's also a superb song writer, a masterful singer and performer who captivates audiences with his charm, wit and the friendliest insults you'll ever hear. An overused phrase maybe, but this is one astonishing performer who really does need to be seen to be believed.
Biography
Material: This artist calls his music "progressive folk fusion," but that doesn't do it justice. Clearly, he's invented a new genre –– one that blends rock, folk, flamenco, madrigal, classical, bluegrass and jazz –– and, it all works. Most songs are driving, thumping monsters. Branigan plays music so compelling that you have to listen to it. It stuns the audience and hushes the room –– even in a bustling L.A. club.
Summary: Rodney Branigan is one of the most amazing artists you will ever see. Not simply because he's unique, but rather because he's impossibly talented. Whether this artist made a deal at the Crossroads, or has preternatural abilities is unknown.
