Brandon Barry is a songwriter, musician and actor from Buffalo, NY.
Brandon fronted the indie rock band The Albrights from 2009-2015, writing many of their hits including "Hard Times", "Washing Town", "Over and Over", and "Goodbye, Adeline".
We discuss Brandon's writing process, how he started down a life-long journey into the arts, and his songwriting process.
Even though I've known Brandon almost 20 years and spent much of that time as his bandmate, I still learned a few things from our discussion.
Enjoy!
