Art Media NW Podcast Episode 23 with Brandon Cook: Musician, Songwriter, Teacher
Brandon is the real deal! I mean, sure… he’s played with Metallica, auditioned for Marty Friedman in Japan, who subsequently mentored him, and he plays in a dozen or so bands currently at the pro level… but can he play guitar? Yes! But he’s more than a guitar player, his songwriting and vocals are top notch and he is a fellow human inhabiting this planet with the rest of us. He hasn’t lost sight of what’s important in life as many do, he speaks of ethics, parenting and work ethic! I’m honored to call him a friend of many years and I’m excited to share this interview with fellow musicians and people who are trying to make it! His website and contact information are linked below. The Loyal Order and Metalmorphosis have music available on iTunes as well.
