Bio... A self-taught pianist, Brandon Giles, took the influences of rock "n" roll artists such as Elvis, Rolling Stones, Professor Longhair, Hank Jr. and Jerry Lee Lewis and combined that musical energy with a new even harder rocking beat.
This honkey-tonk rock n roll piano man proves he can do it all by showing off his love for true country music and ballads as well as electrifying blues. He often addresses audiences after a sweat-infused, five-minute hard rock/boogie piano solo, and then gives a heart-felt rendition of a beautiful country standard.
Brandon has and played with Les Paul in Times Square in New York City, has appeared on Monday Night Football, and performed with Mickey Gilley at his theater in Branson, Missouri as well as road shows. In the past year Brandon has opened shows in arenas for Juice Newton, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Joe Diffie, Lee Greenwood as well as playing with Kid Rock, Hank Williams Jr. and performing onstage as special guest of Tanya Tucker. He also has appeared on radio and television shows such as Ed and Kaye's morning show and The Troy and Dave Show. This past year he stared in the Broadway musical, "Million Dollar Quartet," playing the role of Jerry Lee Lewis that played to sold out audiences, eventually extending its run by another week.
"I'd pony up admission to this sideshow any day of the week." -Brad Schmitt, Tennessean Entertainment Columnist.
"Brandon Giles, puts on a better show than any we've seen in several Nashville trips including to the Grand Ole Opry." -Nate Allen, Arkansas Democrat Gazette syndicated sports columnist.
