Brandon Schott

Most of my favorite musicians have already been mentioned on my blog - except one: Brandon Schott . In 2009 Brandon did his homegrown recording series at www.toopoppy.com , and this is when I stumbled upon one of his songs first. Brandon is not just an exceptionally gifted singer/songwriter but also one of the kindest artists I know.

Dandelion: Finally three videos of his songs: Golden State Fire Season Seasons Turn (alternative mix) Visit his all new website at www.brandonschott.com ! (lots of videos, music & reviews - and you can buy the music directly from Mr. Schott)
