Billy Brandt

Billy Brandt is a singer, guitarist, and composer known for his working-class appeal and a voice often described as dark roasted coffee with a hint of cream. Raised in Hanover, MA, he’s now a mainstay of the Seattle music scene, where he regularly performs in clubs around the city. His music blends jazz, rock, blues, and soul, often drawing inspiration from the film noir genre and the city of Seattle itself. Brandt’s storytelling style has drawn comparisons to Tom Waits, though his voice is more refined and nuanced.

He’s released several albums, including *City Noir* (2019), *Get It Going* (2016), and *The Ballad of Larry’s Neighbor* (2011), with his latest project, *The Lucky Hustle & The Side Show Shuffle*, set to drop in 2025. His songs often explore themes of love, loss, and possibility, and his latest single, *Carnival Souls*, channels the eerie vibe of the cult classic *Carnival of Souls*. Brandt’s music is celebrated for its masculine charm, chutzpah, and a sound that’s as sweet as the cube of sugar.
