He picked up his first guitar at age 10 and never looked back. Now Brad is joined by Kent Snyder on bass, Brandon Ford on drums, John McCorkle on keys, and Steve Lunn on tenor sax and rhythm guitar. The band's style mixes their blues roots with a rock n' roll edge that makes the music cutting edge yet classic at the same time.
