BRANDON SCOTT SELLNER

Saturday - June 12th - 10pm
Rex Bar at Fitger's

Guitarist Brandon Scott Sellner’s stinging licks may sound like he grew up in the nightclubs and after-hours juke joints of Austin, TX, but the fast-fingered performer originally hails from a small town of less than 5,000 called Sleepy Eye, MN.

This Minnesotan plays a polished, blues-infused brand of electric guitar, heavily influenced by guys like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix.  Sellner himself is more in the vein of John Mayer and Jonny Lang, with his catchy vocal hooks and sometimes-sensitive lyrics.

Sellner, 26, has been sharpening his strong electric chops for about eight years now; in that time, he’s opened for the ARC Angels, Los Lonely Boys, the Zac Brown Band, Black Oak Arkansas, Walter Trout, Lamont Cranston, Corey Stevens, Susan Tedeschi, and more. 

Shows in 2008 included his debut at the Prairie Dog Blues Festival in Prairie du Chien, WI and the Bayfront Blues Festival in Duluth, MN, where he out sold every other act (even the headliners) in CD sales.  2009 included the Boundary Waters Blues Festival, Fargo Blues Festival, Jackpot Junction Blues Festival, Snowbird Rock & Blues Fest, Hambone Blues Jam, Rib America Ribfest and Bayfront Blues Festival ’09, among others.

Sellner, who most recently made his home in St. Paul, MN, is currently at work on a third release and has been playing an extended string of shows during his recent trips in the South.  He is also working to get his first album Brandon Scott Sellner re-released on a larger scale.  His CD single, Things Are Gonna Be Good has already received over 340,000 plays on MySpace.

"Brandon is one of the most talented young musicians on the scene today. 
He reminds me of a young kid named Jonny Lang that I had the pleasure to see and hear at the
Bayfront Blues Festival back in '95.  The passion he plays with is second to none!"
