The Deacon Brandon Reeves

About Me

Hailing from the roughneck honky tonks of Atlanta, the Deacon Brandon Reeves rose to the top of the blues scene in 2005 with his debut album, One of These Days. The latest album, Emilia, melds the Deacon's muddy spirituals with road-seasoned slide guitar to create his most sincere work to date. With standout tracks like "Loretta," look for the Deacon Brandon Reeves to be a major legend in the blues landscape for years to come.
