Brandon Rice - The Middle Man
Brandon Rice-
A Performing singer/songwriter out of San Elijo Hills, California, who worked for Sony Electronics for many years, where he became the master of the robots, teaching them how to speak and how to see. He became their saviour, and together they forged the mass construction of the anti-christ. After many years in harmony, it was all lost to the changes in technology and to the chinese. "This is the best thing that could ever happen to me". Instead of a world where More is Less, Brandon Rice realized Less Is More, which was the catalyst to become a simple guitar vocalist. In the chill style sing-along melodies of Jack Johnson he discovered a delivery system that works and the people love it.
Previously, the heavy metal guitar player and sometimes vocalist for Ferocious Panty Lines in the 90's, he hung up his electric guitar like a piece of art and refuses to play it, at least for now! "There is something so pure and intimate about a solo acoustic vocalist performer, it really takes allot of work to make a song stand on its own, and it especially takes allot of guts". My goal is to make Great songs, my goal is for them to become a household memory for at least 1% of the world population. Brandon Rice has been to many song-writing expo's and festivals, constantly honing his craft. "One thing I see as a commonality right now from so many great songwriters, they say, "speak the truth","say what people are thinking but no ones saying", "be real". So there you have it. "Thats what I love to do. I am a realist who has always told the truth, I am The Middle Man, I am shaking hands with the Gods and the Devils".
Brandon Rice is currently recording his new album "Walking Through Walls".
