Brandon T. Clem

Bass Player

Brandon was brought into music at an early age due to his parents both playing music. His mother Dena is a singer, and his father Rex is a bass player that has greatly influenced Brandon.

 

Brandon switched between guitar and bass through a few different bands early on, but never found the same passion for guitar and melody that he did groove on the bass. Brandon has been playing bass for over 15 years, and has a wide range of influences ranging from Iron Maiden all the way to Sly and the Family Stone, all of which you can find in his style of playing.

 

Brandon met Taylor back in their middle school years, but it wasn't until Taylor's high school years that they started playing music together, jamming to tunes like Electric Eye and Children of the Grave. Brandon and Kris have known each other since they were toddlers. Kris' grandmother Mona sang in a band with both of Brandon's parents, and they have been brothers for just about their entire lives.
