Little Brazil

**Little Brazil** is an indie rock outfit rooted in Omaha, Nebraska’s vibrant music scene, best known for their earnest songwriting and gritty yet melodic sound. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Landon Hedges (also of The Good Life), the band emerged in the mid-2000s as part of the city’s tight-knit Saddle Creek Records orbit, sharing stages and collaborators with acts like Bright Eyes and Cursive. Their music blends raw emotion with catchy hooks, often channeling themes of longing and introspection—a vibe captured in releases like *Tighten the Noose* (2007) and *Son* (2010). While not as widely recognized as some Omaha peers, Little Brazil built a loyal following for their heartfelt live shows and no-frills rock sincerity before going on hiatus in the 2010s. Tracks like “Send the Wolves” and “Walking Home” remain cult favorites, embodying their knack for turning personal turmoil into anthemic catharsis.
