here.


I'm sorry it's been so long! When I tell you all that has been going on I am sure you will understand. In order to get there, I guess I should start here. When I was 13 years old I made an independent gospel record. I spent my teenage years in the family band, touring from church to church  in a van singing and playing. Tearing down and putting up a PA system, homeschooling and traveling for the pure joy of music & the dream of a record deal one day. As a kid I could tell you who played on each and every record and even who ran some of the labels. I love music, I even love the music business. I moved to Nashville when I was 17 and have spent the last 10 years of my life writing songs and playing music. I have played for too many labels to count, written with some incredible writers, and even been a sideperson of sorts. Been knocked down, gotten back up, been knocked down again. Always loving music. Always with the dream of getting a record deal. The last time I picked myself back up was over a year ago. My sister and I decided to start a band out of the sheer joy of playing together. Kind of like when we were kids. I have talked about "Coldwater Jane" in this blog. It has been such a pleasure creating this music with her.

14 years ago I became an artist. 

Two months ago I got a record deal !!!!

Coldwater Jane signed to Universal Records in May and we are thrilled! Our record is supposed to be out sometime next year. We have been writing and recording and working nonstop. I look forward to keeping you abreast of everything going on. But more than that to encourage you, do what you love and don't give up. I know it sounds cliche' but I am living breathing proof dreams really do come true. We have a long way to go. But no matter what happens in the future, or all the heartache of the past. It was worth it!

Happy to be here.

Brandon Jane
