Hello!
Brandon here. The latest song is now posted and ready for YOU to take a listen. It's called "New Plaid Shirt" and it's another collaboration with the lovely Mira Parfitt. Click here to go have a listen.
In OTHER NEWS, I've started playing gigs around the bay area and I'd like to welcome all the new folks who have come by to check out the site. Thanks for the love! Just to fill you in, if you join the mailing list, I'll be sending out new songs every month or so, some of which are performed by me, and others by...others. All the songs you'll hear are written by me or written by me with any number of talented writers/performers I can coax into writing with me. If you're in the bay area, I'll be performing the regular Friday night show of cover tunes with all the usual musicians this Friday, Feb. 5 at the Blue Rock Shoot in Saratoga at 8pm. For those of you who haven't been to the BRS, it's a truly magical place. Come on out.
In YET OTHER NEWS, the time has finally come to put out an album. I have already begun rounding up musicians to perform with me and I'm currently in the process of selecting and writing songs that will go into it. I'm quite excited about this and I'll keep you posted about progress and availability.
That's all for now. Enjoy the week and stay tuned for a couple new songs in the next few weeks.
All the best,
Brandon

Folks,
It's a new decade, and that means it's time to kick it into high gear. I've met some very talented musicians out here in the bay area and this month I'd like you to meet Mira Parfitt. Mira is a singer/songwriter from Los Gatos, CA with a sweet, honest voice and a killer stage presence.
(Mira in the Studio)
We're in the midst of writing and recording several songs, the first of which is up as a demo recording on the MySpace page . It's called "Foggy Window" and for me, it's about the struggle to make it in this tough music business. I hope you'll take a moment and go have a listen.
As always, thanks for the continued love and support, and I hope your 2010 is already off to a great start!
Stay tuned for THREE more songs coming out in the next several weeks . . .
Much love,
Brandon

Happy Holidays!
Hey, folks. Welp, 'tis the season. And those of you who have been with me for a while know that means it's time to dust off Chinese Food On Christmas and send it out into the world to spread some holiday cheer. In an attempt to get hip with the times, I've uploaded the HD version (see it HERE ). But if you're like me and prefer to see the classic version because it's got more hits and makes you feel better about the impossible career path you've chosen, go see the classic here .
For the SHEET MUSIC, RING TONE, or to PURCHASE MY MUSIC on iTunes, head on over HERE .
I hope you're doing well, and I wish you and yours a warm, happy, and healthy holiday season. Thanks for supporting me and my music! I've been working with some very talented musicians lately, so stay tuned for lots more new and exciting stuff in 2010!
All the best!
Brandon

Hey, people.
I hope this finds you well! Follow the link below
to have a listen to the demo for my latest song, "Hey, Dara". I'm
currently looking for a band to perform it, but for now you'll have to
deal with my faux-powerpop-punk self.

Enjoy! And a Happy New Year and L'Shana Tova to those of you who celebrate : )
All the best, all the time.

Whew! What a crazy past few months it's been! I got hitched, honeymooned in Greece, then moved to California! That's right, I'm sitting here writing this about 3,000 miles away from where I last wrote you. I don't have any good wedding pics to show you yet, so here's one from the honeymoon.
So I'm in the San Francisco bay area, writing and playing music, and looking to put together a band. I'll keep you posted on the progress. This month's song is on the MySpace page and it's called Plugged In. I was inspired to write it when I decided to walk to work one day because it was so nice outside, and I was just amazed at how much more of the world you can take in when you ditch the car, put down the cell phone, and just take your time. Enjoy!

Aaaannnnnd we're back!
After a brief pause for the cause (the cause being compiling my demo and sending it out to music publishers), I've got a new song on YouTube. It's called Home Tonight and it's about being with the one you love, not worrying about where you are or what you're doing. Just being. You can have a look here . Enjoy! And as always, I welcome your feedback . . .

Hey, folks!
Each year seems to fly by even faster than the one before, and this
year was no exception! It's been 12 months since I began the
song-a-month promise, and here we are 12 songs later. I know, I can't
believe it either. Ah, life.
This month's song is tentatively titled "Mystery" and it's one of a
handful of songs I'm putting together for a demo. The song's not quite
finished yet, but what the heck. I put it up anyway. You can have a
listen at the MySpace page
And with that, I'd like to announce the end of the song-a-month
campaign. Aw, don't cry! It's okay. It's been a lot of fun but I'm
going to focus my time and energy on that demo I was talking about.
I'll still be putting out new songs, just not necessarily one per month.
I'd like to sign off by saying simply, thank you. Thank you for taking
an interest in what I do. Thank you for your kind words throughout the
past year. And thank you for your support! I appreciate it more than I
can express.
Oh, and speaking of support . . . I'm on iTunes! So, if you'd like to
show your support in a more tangible way, you can download a number of
my songs from iTunes. Just head on over to www.itunes.com and search
for my name.
Thank you again, and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
All the best,
Brandon

October's Song of the Month |
|
Sunday, 02 November 2008 |
Hey, peeps.
October's song of the month is up on the MySpace page, www.myspace.com/brandonharriswalker
It's a song I started a long time ago that I called "Drowning in My Own
Thoughts" but I decided to rename it "Two Guys on a Porch"--an
unconventional name for a pretty unconventional song. Anyway, I've been
spending a lot of time in the studio getting a radio quality demo of
conventional songs together, so I had to do this one real quick--just
me and a piano.
So go check it out, enjoy it for it's unconventionality and soak in the fun lyrics.
I hope all is well with you!
All the Best,
Brandon

September's Song of the Month! |
|
Wednesday, 01 October 2008 |
Hey, folks.
September's song of the month is called Leave It All Behind. It's about
something to which lots of us can relate--not being happy at work! But
not just work. It's really just about any situation that makes you
stop and think, 'there's just got to be something more than this.'
But before I give you the link, here's an article about yours truly
written by Richie Frieman of the Jewish Times' new "Tuned In" blog spot.
http://blogs.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/tuned_in/
And as for September's song of the month, here it is:

I hope all is well with you and I'll catch up with you again next month!
