Music Tonight – The Braidwood Band
The Billy Bishop / Kerrisdale Legion for the first time welcomes The Braidwood Band.
They play vintage rock and roll that will surely get you up dancing. The musicians are Brent Braidwood on guitar and vocals, Ken Moxon on keyboard, and Jerry Leht on drums.
Braidwood clearly wears his influences well, such as The Beatles, Nick Lowe, Matthew Sweet, Squeeze, Nilsson, Emitt Rhodes, The Odds, cheesy 60’s pop, Klaatu, Ian Gomm, innumerable one-hit wonders, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Marshall Crenshaw, Queen, and many, many more.
Braidwood brings 40 years of musical experience to the table. Like a perfectly aged wine, his songs have mellowed into fine and fun, highly melodic pieces of classic-style pop rock ready to pour.
It’s clear Braidwood understands melody and pop song construction, with strong melodies and lyrics that are clever and catchy. Well-crafted melodic rock tailored to a more discerning, mature audience. As a singer-songwriter, Braidwood’s songs fall within the classic pop genre, but stylistically, they’re pretty varied – a little bit of something for everyone.
