   About Brando and Friends

Brando made a decision one day not too long ago to put together a band that would play all the classic songs that everyone knows but nobody plays anymore. In this quest he enlisted old friends as well as some new blood but all with great talents and musical desire. This list of veterans includes Brandon Creasman on Lead Guitar, Dobro, and Lead Vocals, Mark Betz on bass, Marcus Roland on drums, Joe Purrenhage on keyboards, Woody Rose on Keys/Organ and Vocals, and David Appelman on Tenor Sax and Flute.

You can usually find the band playing at Dick O'Dows in Birmingham as well as other venues around the Detroit metro area.

We finally did it! We have put together a kick-ass MUSIC VIDEO for the song "Sold my Soul!" Don't want to talk to much about it but we will be showing it on a 12ft viewing screen on Thursday May 14 @ 9pm and performing (2) Sets.


This event will be filmed by DetroitMusic.TV and we are featured in the Real Detroit and Metro-Times this week (released on May 13).

We hope to see you there - it'll be worth it! Peace.

Brando, it was great seeing you last weekend and it was especially awesome hearing you play live. You are one of the most talented musicians I've ever known. Be sure to check out the band My Morning Jacket (as I mentioned) they're not quite a jam band but they kind of are... anyway, you should start with their masterpiece live album Okonokos.
They're coming to the Fillmore in October so there's time to get tickets if you love em as much as I do!! Anyway bro, take care, keep being true, and I hope it's not as long a time before we hang out again! PEACE!!
