In Episode 51, Brenton and Bryant unpack the power of community in the lives of creative people. You can't really create without having great people around you. Not that EVERYTHING has to be a co-written song, or a collaboration, but just having great people around you can make all the difference when it comes to inspiration, critique, or genuine enjoyment in your art or creative project. It's a big deal. Get around people in the same wavelength as you, and watch your world explode with new possibilities!⏪

In episode 50, Brenton and Bryant have the opportunity to sit down with Brandon Bagby. Brandon, originally from Louisiana, began playing guitar at the age of 14.  The self-taught guitarist landed his first “pro gig” playing guitar for Vertical Music / Integrity Music worship artist Jason Morant in 2004 at the age of 21.  Brandon finished college with a Bachelor’s Degree from Southeastern Louisiana University in late 2005.  Questioning his next steps, he moved into a corporate career setting.  At the same time, Brandon played in bars and churches in the local Baton Rouge and New Orleans community.

In May 2009, Brandon made a career change and decided to finally move to Nashville, TN to pursue a full time career in music.  Since moving to the “Music City,” Brandon has had the pleasure of hitting the stage with artists such as All Sons & Daughters, Cory Lamb, Know Hope Collective (an Audio Adrenaline worship project), Meredith Andrews, Seventh Day Slumber, SHeDAISY, and many more!  Brandon is diverse in playing styles such as country, motown, pop, rock, rhythm & blues, and contemporary worship.  Whether it’s teaching music theory, how to read number charts, scales… to preparing for an audition, ways to learn songs quickly, or even getting the right tone; Brandon’s goal is to bring his students to a pro playing level!

“I don’t just want to teach an average guitar lesson… I’d prefer to mentor and pour into the lives of my students!  When I began playing guitar, I wish I would have had someone helping and guiding me to the profession.”

Brandon is also a visual artist. Though Brandon has only been painting seriously since July 2009, he uses very mature impressionistic techniques through the use of palette knives. Most of Brandon’s art exemplifies his never-ending passion for music, though he is beginning to explore other avenues of subject matter in his art.

In some of his works, you can definitely see an influence of New Orleans styled art.  That shouldn’t be much of a surprise knowing the artist spent a portion of his life only sixty-four miles outside of The Big Easy.  Brandon graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University in December 2005 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, focusing in Graphic Design.  He said that, “while in college, I took only one painting class which was required for my curriculum.  Sometimes I wish I would have studied more about painting, but then again, I wonder if I would be painting in a more restricted fashion.”

You will find that Brandon piles on large amounts of paint with palette knives on large canvas panels.  Photos alone do not bring an ounce of justice to the rich textures of this artist’s work.  Brandon’s pieces are definitely a “must see” in person.  Many clients say that photos just don’t do the work justice! ⏪

In Episode 49, Brenton and Bryant unpack the idea of "output before input". There are a lot of sayings that would emphasize the opposite, saying that you need to pour in to yourself before you can output. While sometimes this is true, sometimes you have to be the initiator. If you'r having a bad day, there's a good chance someone else is, too. If you want people to pour into your life, sometimes you have to pour into theirs first. ⏪

In Episode 48, Brenton and Bryant have a conversation with Garrett Goodwin. While Garrett began his career playing in the backdrop of worship movements across the country (Zoegirl, Jeff Deyo of Sonicflood, Lindell Cooley, two-time Dove Award winner By The Tree), he has since transitioned fluidly through the musical world. Most recently, Garrett has spent the last eight years as the drummer for Carrie Underwood.  He's also performed live with Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith; on Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Fallon, The Grammy Awards, The American Music Awards, The People's Choice Awards, Billboard Awards, among others.

Garrett resides in Nashville, Tennessee, where you'll see him co-leading KMLM.org, a non-profit organization with the mission of sending bags that give hope to children in need. For every bag purchased, another bag full of educational materials is sent to a child.

Throughout his career, Garrett has played for over 1 million people... for each tour he's been on, and was named #1 up and coming drummer in Modern Drummer Magazine.  All this, and he's just getting started. ⏪

In Episode 47, Brenton and Bryant unpack the idea of "Letting it Dry." Much deeper than a painting reference, letting it dry refers to the times when we feel like we're forcing our art or we come up against a road block that inhibits our creative flow. Sometimes, taking a step back, walking away, and letting it dry can make all the difference. What projects have you had to let sit before you could make any more progress? We want to hear about them!
