Read Concert review; http://bit.ly/1juBFMQ 1/4 Sarana VerLin & Billy Brandt http://billyandsarana.com/ playing "Hogback Road" @ Bluescafe Apeldoorn, Netherlands http://www.bluescafe.nl Een prima avondje "Celticana'( a fusion of Pop, Folk, Rock, Alt-Country, Celtic and Americana)
Their style is a fusion of Pop, Folk, Rock, Alt-Country, Celtic and Americana...imagine the soul of Joni Mitchell, the vibe of Stevie Nicks, a bit of celtic fiddling...combined with the DNA of Neil Young and the voice of Gram Parsons...mix in some sweetly blended harmonies and you have Billy Brandt and Sarana VerLin.

Influenced by the likes of Gram Parsons to the Grateful Dead, Billy Brandt has molded his sound by creating his own unique guitar picking that creates a haunting melody which stays with the listener long after the song is over.
