In an era crowded with an assembly line of uninspired singer songwriters, Branden takes influence from classic and defining artists such as folk rock singer/songwriter Bob Dylan and punk legend Iggy Pop.  Branden continues to perform his bluesy style of rock and roll in the local Portland area where he now lives and is also currently planning a West Coast tour for the summer of 2004 to promote his debut EP through Glover’s label, Starving Dog Records.  Doing what he does best, Branden is eager to perform his mixture of catchy melodies and incredibly riveting lyrics to a wide audience, and along the way, prove to be a lucrative artist.  “If you have a good song with a good chorus it is going to grab people, and with an audience in front of me, I want my songs and performance to command people’s attention. - www.brandendaniel.com
