Brandon is the real deal! I mean, sure... he's played with Metallica, auditioned for Marty Friedman in Japan, who subsequently mentored him, and he plays in a dozen or so bands currently at the pro level... but can he play guitar? Yes! But he's more than a guitar player, his songwriting and vocals are top notch and he is a fellow human inhabiting this planet with the rest of us. He hasn't lost sight of what's important in life as many do, he speaks of ethics, parenting and work ethic! I'm honored to call him a friend of many years and I'm excited to share this interview with fellow musicians and people who are trying to make it! His website and contact information are linked below. The Loyal Order and Metalmorphosis have music available on iTunes as well. http://brandoncookmusic.com/ https://www.facebook.com/brandoncookmusic https://www.facebook.com/AppetiteForDeception/ https://www.facebook.com/JukeBoxHeroes.ForeignerTribute/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/15472416835/ https://www.facebook.com/theloyalordermusic/ https://www.facebook.com/metalmorphosisband/ https://music.apple.com/us/album/volume-1/1398584385 https://music.apple.com/us/music-video/ready-for-dead/1447703337?fbclid=IwAR22RxpcCW2UvEQTDnr8HxR9G3aDtsn5nFBi3L2-88QerQB-6PuGvN5-UdA

Tell your story, build your brand. artmedianw.com The podcast is mostly in interview format show. For artists, graphic designers, musicians, photographers, film and video professionals, writers, creators and business leaders. I'm Dany Oakes, I've been a musician and artist for most of my life. I am working to develop an new collaborative community to help musicians and artists create promotional videos, audio, photo, visual artists. The vision is that this will create more work for local artists and musicians, the website will likely grow to include stock photography, stock video, stock audio. With providing more work to local artists and musicians it is my hope that we can have the resources and time to collaborate on compelling projects, have the resources to get health care, pay our bills on time, take vacations, travel, and have enough to get the necessary equipment and people together to do our best work. Most of the early podcasts recorded are with musicians, one with a photographer, multi-faceted artist, and one with an author. The plan is to release one a week starting mid-April 2019. I'm grateful for the opportunity to help artists tell their stories, and share their experiences. Maybe the rest of us can learn to see a little more clearly and get to what is truly important!
