Billy Brandt is a multiple-award-winning Detroit ares singer-songwriter, whose rootsy, folky, psychedelic alt-country background underpins strong songwriting and an adventurous spirit. A mainstay of the local Detroit scene, Billy's collaborations with other artists are near-legendary - and you're as likely to find him out playing with duo partner, Sarana VerLin, or his roots rock combo the Sugarees, as you are to find him solo. His excellent solo album 'The Mission Band' showcases both his songwriting and his performance collaborations, and won the Detroit Music Award for best Americana Album. Billy's love for music is infectious, and his embrace of different genres brings a richness and an expanse to his shows. Be prepared for a genial, convivial, and musically rewarding evening with songs you know, songs you might know, and songs you will discover and treasure. And will earworm you unmercifully.

My music comes from within. A feeling, an expression of life's moments summed up into musical notes from me to you.
