Brandon Santini Bio:

A 25-year veteran of the blues, rock & country circuits, Brandon Santini has built his sound from the Piedmont roots of his North Carolina childhood to the storied stages of Memphis’ Beale Street where he refined his playing into the explosive harmonica work, commanding voice, and dynamic stage presence & songwriting. He has earned seven Blues Music Award nominations, landed major TV placements, and has a reputation as one of today’s leading modern blues performers. Not to mention that he has had the honor of performing on stage with Buddy Guy, Gary Clark Jr, Beth Hart, Charlie Musselwhite, as well as recording with the iconic 60’s rocker Sam The Sham

2025 has been a landmark year for Brandon Santini. His album Which Way Do We Go? delivered some of the strongest momentum of his career, earning further worldwide radio support, which includes having one of the most-played songs of the year on SiriusXM Bluesville, and securing two high-profile song placements on The Paramount Plus television series, Tulsa King featuring Sylvester Stallone. The accompanying album release tour stretched across the U.S. and Canada, drawing packed rooms, new fans, and powerful word-of-mouth that continues to build. Simply put, Santini has shown his maturity as an original artist with his new album.
