Legend has it, if musicians spend enough time around the roaring waters of Niagara Falls, they end up making music in various shades of blue.
Brandon Agnew is an independent roots musician. His songwriting is inspired by life in Ontario and shaped by time in New Orleans, Memphis and Buffalo. Fans of his music have compared him to Steve Earle, Sixto Rodriquez and The Modern Lovers. Stories from the North, Sounds from the South.
