MORRISSEY

In August 2021, I was asked to join Morrissey’s band. The ensemble consists of Jesse Tobias (guitar), Alain Whyte (guitar), Gustavo Manzur (keys), and Juan Galeano (bass). We have since toured both the US and Europe, and we’re looking forward to recording a new album of songs soon. I consider Morrissey to be one of the greatest lyricists of all time. His music (both solo and with The Smiths) has had a massive influence on me.

In The Studio: Brendan has been making recorded music with D’Arcy, Ha*Ash, Ednita Nazario, Scott Newell, JJ Lin, Etty Farrell, Perry Farrell & Kind Heaven Orchestra, Shelby Lynne, Joel Taylor, Rachel Eckroth, Zak Schaffer, Steve Reynolds, Sarah Packiam, Gustavo Santaolalla, Fiero, Shawn Brown, Lucy Peru, Atarashii Gakko!, Brandon Grey, Henry Dennis, and Nicholas Jacobson Larson.
