I’m also known as a drummer and percussionist in and around Nashville, TN. Here’s a little info about that from my website www.BrannanLane.comaudio samples: LIVE | STUDIO | LANE & LARSON Welcome to my little piece of cyberspace. I take it you want to know more about me, so here’s a little info for ya’... People say I have a large musical palette, i think that’s because I draw from a wide range of influences. I have 30 years of experience and fluent in many styles of music like Blues, R&B, Hip Hop, Jazz, Country, Zydeco, New Orleans Second Line, Funk, Latin and many forms of Rock music. I have been very fortunate to receive steady work, making a living and keeping myself fat and overweight! (laughs) I have performed in Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and all around the USA. I worked 15 years with Grand Ole Opry Star and Sony recording artist Skeeter Davis, as well as many other talented people, there is a small list below. Recently, out of luck, i was awarded the Music City Award for “Blues Drummer of the Year”. I’ve been nominated four times in the past. SOME PEOPLE I HAVE PERFORMED WITH: Big Al and the Heavyweights Big Chief “Smiley” Ricks (Dr. John) Billy Cox (Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys) Charles “Wig” Walker Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band Connie Smith Craig Skinner (Garth Brooks) Dean Hall Debbie Ritter & 440 Blues Delicious Blues Stew Eric Sturthers (The Neville Brothers) Fredric Neal (Kenny Neal) George Hamilton IV Gretchen Wilson Hank Locklin Henry Gray Jack Greene Jean Shepard Jeannie Pruett Jennie Seely Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie) Joey Spampinato (NRBQ) Jonny Jones Kenny Acosta Leon Medica (Louisiana Leroux) Miranda Louise Nick Nixon (The New Imperials) Shane & the Money Makers Skeeter Davis Vasti Jaskson Waldo Weathers (James Brown)* Here’s a nice quote about the groove: Country music star Wynonna Judd says this about the Stew ("Delicious Blues Stew" a group i perform with): "I have the greatest memory of the first time I ever saw them play. I happened to be at the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville with my mother. We were there to see Jimmy Vaughan, and after his set, they came on stage. The next thing I know my mother and I were dancing in the aisles. THEY GROOVE MY BRAINS OUT!!! You need to experience the joy and celebration in their music like I have. It’s truly a healing experience."Drumming Influences: David Garibaldi, Zigaboo Modeliste, Willie Green, Herman Ernest, Clyde Stubblefield, Stewart Copeland, Steve Gadd, Tom Larson, Vinnie Colaiuta, Simon Phillips, Dave Weckl, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, Mel Watts, Tony Williams, Billy Cobham, Lenny White, John Bonham, Tommy Aldridge, just to name a few... Equipment List (I have 4 drum sets, but these are the drums and gear I use the most): Drums: 6 piece Pearl Session Master Series (Toms 10, 12, 14, 16, Bass Drum 22) with custom finish. Snare Drums: Mapex Maple Deluxe with custom finish and Mapex Black Panther Birds Eye Maple (Both 6.5 x 14 with die cast rims.) Cymbals: Sabian AA (21 Dry Ride, 15 and 16 Crashes, 16 Ozone, 7, and 12 Splashes) Heads: Toms Evans Clear G2, SD Evans white coated HD Dry, BD Remo Power Stoke (No muffling inside the Bass Drum, just a felt strip on each head, and a AKG D112 mic mounted inside.) Pedals: DW 7002 Double Pedal Sticks: Vic Firth wood tip 5A Cases: Protechtor Classic Series I also compose and record my own music, using mainly keyboards and percussion. I have 20 plus releases and they are available in popular online stores and download sites. My music has been used on Dateline NBC, Spike TV, Univision, Sony Play Station, as well as outstanding syndicated radio shows like "Star’s End", "Musical Starstreams", "E-Music", "Echoes” and the number 2 most popular Contemporary Music program on NPR (National Public Radio) "Music from the Hearts of Space". Lane is currently working with: Delicious Blues Stew (and) Donnie C. (neo soul artist). Delicious Blues Stew or "The Stew" is a Bluesiana party band covering bayou blues styles such as Baton Rouge & New Orleans blues, zydeco, Cajun, second line and Mardi Gras music. Eclectic, with quality original material, the Stew founded the highly successful Mardi Gras celebration at Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville, Blues Club of the Year in 2000. The band features a catalogue of over 300 songs, ranging from high-spirited originals to time-honored classics in blues, rock ’n’ roll, zydeco & jazz. The Stew delivers good-time Bluesiana Music with a strong Mardi Gras flavor. One observer notes that "no one comes away from a Stew gig unscathed." Country music star Wynonna says this about the Stew: "I have the greatest memory of the first time I ever saw them play. I happened to be at the Bourbon Street Blues & Boogie Bar in Nashville with my mother. We were there to see Jimmy Vaughan, and after his set, they came on stage. The next thing I know my mother and I were dancing in the aisles. They groove my brains out!!! You need to experience the joy and celebration in their music like I have. It’s truly a healing experience." Please email me if you need my phone or fax number, I do not like to post it online. Thank you for your time, understanding and kindness. Peace, Brannan Lane |
