Brandon Johnson was born November 27, 1980 in the east Texas cotton-town, Greenville. He began playing seriously with his Back Porch Band while studying International Business and Marketing during his tenure at Baylor University in Waco, TX. Brandon has found a comfortable home in the Alternative-Country/Roots-Rock genre, and is described by Texas Music Theater Radio personality Gary Barton as having "a soulful voice." "[Brandon] is a terrific songwriter!" he says. After two smaller B-level releases (Self-titled-2001 and A Long Time Coming-2003), Brandon recruited industry renowned producers Steven Collins (Deadman) and Pete Coatney (Jack Ingram's Beat Up Ford Band) in 2004 and began recording his first A-level major project. Brandon Johnson's SCREAM was released January 14, 2005 and attempts to explore new sonic boundaries while still showcasing the intense imagery and powerful depictions found in his writing. An all-original composition, SCREAM's songs are as colorful as its name. Everyone can find a piece of himself or herself on SCREAM. And ranging from mood-treated ballads like Rebound and October Prayer to powerful, stadium-filled anthems like Breakdown and Little Sister, Brandon has not only been able to capture the sincere human emotion illustrated in his music, but has also succeeded in demonstrating his versatility in composition and arrangement. By constantly pacing the road between roots rock and country, Brandon has created an Alt-country sound mounted somewhere between Gram Parsons and The Rolling Stones.
