There is an undeniable power in Billy Brandt’s vocal approach, delivered with sly attitude.” – Earshot Jazz
On his fourth album, The Lucky Hustle & The Side Show Shuffle, Seattle singer, songwriter, and performer Billy Brandt delivers a brass‑ring‑grabbing carousel of jazz, rock, blues, and R&B — spun with precision and steeped in a deep devotion to musical storytelling. At turns smooth and swinging, Brandt’s music radiates masculine charm and chutzpah. His voice — dark‑roasted coffee with just a hint of cream — pours seamlessly into the record’s classic 1970s aesthetic. The album unfolds in rhythmic layers: rockin’, swingin’, circling back with new color and momentum.
A Massachusetts native turned Seattle mainstay,Brandt performs regularly in clubs across the city. A natural storyteller — both as a singer and a composer — he brings a refined, nuanced vocal style to every stage and session. His discography includes three critically acclaimed releases:
- The Ballad of Larry’s Neighbor (2011)
- Get It Going (2016)
- City Noir (2019)
With The Lucky Hustle & The Side Show Shuffle, Brandt expands his sonic world once again, offering listeners a ride through groove, grit, and cinematic swing.
