Brax Cutchin is a misplaced Southerner living in Los Angeles, making music that sounds like a Johnny Cash-David Bowie collaboration. Originally from South Carolina, this March he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain, to raise money for charity: water.
Currently, Brax is recording a new record of his own brand of Americana music, which can be found on iTunes, CDbaby, Rhapsody, other online distribution sites. A new CD will be released in 2008. Brax has also begun work on his first novel and has been a Big Brother for more than 10 years.
Brax recently began writing stories about his experiences in Africa for Intent.com, a new web site started by Mallika Chopra (Deepak's daughter). Here is a link to the blog:

Hi Brax...Maybe I have a bit of heat stroke..but I could swear I just saw you at Henrys market in Temecula...I know you would never be here w/out calling me first right? :)..haha Love and Light 2u, m xoxo
Brax! The songs sound GREAT! Dark Horse will be my new on the road anthem. I am living in Hollywood now and I was wondering if you are going to be around for some shows I have. Tomorrow night the 24th I'm playing at the Rainbow at 8 and on June 3rd I play at the Whiskey at around 9. It would be wonderful to get some feed back from a pro. Do you have any shows in the LA area soon?
