Needle in the Haystack: Brae

posted in: Artist Features • By Genres • Rock

It’s not often a drummer turns into a talented singer/songwriter. This week’s Needle in the Haystack artist, Brae spent almost 20 years drumming before he realized he wanted more musically. Now a singer-songwriter, Brae’s released two full-length albums in the last two years”the more recently in March.

When listening to Brae’s music, you’re hear the drummer influence right away. His music is very rhythm centric. Even the melodic lines have a unique rhythmic feel to them that keep the songs interesting. Overall, the music is laid back and easy going. It’s great to listen to when you’re relaxing and have a moment to absorb some thoughtful and sincere lyrics. “Planks and Haystacks”, the first track on his most recent album, Eating at the World, is one of our favorite tracks on the album. The title alone is certainly appropriate for this week of promotion. We love the song, but don’t take our word for it. Brae is allowing us to offer a free track for download below. Stay tuned for more of this great artist to come this week.
