SUMMARY:Rodney Branigan
DESCRIPTION:The Texas-born troubadour who learned to play in Austin\, perform in Los Angeles\, craft songs in Nashville\, and put it all together in London has played all types of music in all types of venues in his storied career. His adventurous\, boundary-breaking guitar playing (sometimes at the same time) earning him the title “The Two Guitar Man” has led to performance invites across America\, India\, Africa\, and Europe. \nIn 2019 Sir Michael Eavis asked him to headline the 10\,000 people Glasto Extravaganza at Glastonbury Abbey when Paloma Faith was forced to pull out – leading to a personal invite to perform on the Glastonbury Festival Acoustic Stage where he went down a storm! \nSome of the artists he’s been privileged to have opened for or collaborated with; Jack Johnson\, Alabama 3\, Billy Bragg\, Dick Dale\, Cross Canadian Rag Weed\, Kelly Willis\, Tom Robinson\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Tom Odell\, Seth Lakeman\, Billy Sheehan\, Frances Cabrel\, Bad Finger\, Slim Jim Phantom\, Bo Diddley\, Jethro Tull\, and many more… \nReceived a standing ovation at Folk East – quote “Every year there will be one or two artists that take the audience completely by surprise. This year Rodney Branigan was undoubtedly that artist\, his name being mentioned in our feedback over and over again as peoples stand out act”\nJohn Marshall-Potter\, FolkEast \nQUOTES:\nMusic Connections USA described him as – “Impossibly talented”\nBob Harris BBC Radio 2 – ‘Outstanding Showmanship’\nMike Harding BBC Radio2 FolkShow – ‘One of the World’s Greatest Guitarists’ \nOfficial website: http://www.rodneybranigan.com \nLive at Chagstock Festival UK – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fniVpoZ2AOk\nWhispering Bob Harris ‘Stunning Music’ – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeG34cBP7QU\nLive for iGuitar magazine “Body Language” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-242iVgGkI \nPlease note this is an 18+ event\, and the venue is accessed by stairs with no lift.
