Born sometime in 1981 to a family of exiled German/Brazilian immigrants, Brandon Warrick knew from the bamboo cradle that he was destined for overall goodness. Recieving his first instrument, a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar, at the tender age of 11, Brandon put his tiny preteen fingers to work. By thirteen he was was writing toothpaste commercials with an old Tascam 4 track, shopping them from company to company, but to no avail. Yada yada yada, at 26, Brandon can be seen performing all over Chicagoland. Make sure you say howdy if you have a chance to check him out!
Brandon's main influences include and are not limited to: Fat Albert Band, Trey Anastasio, Tommy Emmanuel, Pat Metheny, Brendan Bayliss, Scottish, Jaik Willis, Kermit the Frog (acoustic- the electric stuff is too out there), Aaron Tappan, Talking Heads, Ween, Kyle Glass, and the rythmic trance of birds in a tree chirping.
Brandon has appeared as a session artist at the Jazz Showcase and The Frank Mantooth Jazz Fest. He has performed in such venues as Double Door, The Metro, Uncommon Ground, Elbo Room, The Note, Tonic Room, Tipitina's Uptown, Ray's Boom Boom Room, The Cubby Bear, and the list goes on....
Although he see's himself one day finding a cure for stuff, Brandon keeps a level headed approach to things. "I always hope that one day we could all enjoy when something not out of the extraordinary happens to non-random people!"
Brandon endorses Martin Guitars, Schecter Guitars, Fender Basses, DR Strings, Roland guitar pedals, Visual Sound guitar pedals, Shure microphones, and Planet Waves guitar straps.
