About Stephen Brannen

 
Portrait of Stephen Brannen
In my home studio
Born and raised in the Deep South, and the son of a preacher, music has always been in my life. I studied composition, guitar performance, and music production at colleges in Louisiana, Texas, and Tennessee. Since then I've played guitar professionally for nearly 20 years - in Nashville and for the Air Force. I am currently guitarist in the USAF Academy Band in Colorado Springs, where my family and I have put down roots.

    FANFRIGGINTASIC !! Hey dude !! I love your sound !! The only thing more awesome than your sound is your mastering the part of music that really is the most important part, the melody. Id pay to see you in concert if that means anything. Good luck this month. Trev

Stephen Brannen's Blog

 

OurStage is a different place

I’ve been wandering ‘round this site and found some interesting things. In the Guitar Solo contest I have heard some amazing players, and some that were not so technically mind-boggling yet very musical and tasteful (mind-boggling in other ways). The latter will frequently find themselves in high places here on OurStage – which says alot about the people who live here. I was also a bit surprised to see the overall winner from March was from the New Age/World category. In so many other places it’s alt-rock or hip-hop or pop. The tastes here are pretty eclectic and I dig that alot.

Thanks so much to all those who are digging my music.
