ROOTS ROCK FROM BOULDER, COLORADO
Like an angry shout from a freight train, Jason Brandt & the Build-Out delivers passionate, gritty, original roots rock that evokes a blend of the old & the new, the rough & the refined. Jason’s snarky, bittersweet lyrics tell stories of yearning, heartbreak, regret & loneliness.
Jason Brandt leads the band on vocals, tenor saxophone, and guitar. Originally from San Antonio, TX, he’s been playing live in the greater Denver area & beyond since 2021. The Build-Out, his backing band, is an outstanding group of versatile vocalists & instrumentalists. Together, their music evokes the sounds of legends like Jimi Hendrix, Bonnie Raitt, Lenny Kravitz, Black Keys, & Gary Clark, Jr. with a nod to neo-soul & contemporary country like Lake Street Dive & Chris Stapleton.
Newest Single: “Green Fixie”
This tune, released July 2023, is dedicated to all the rare fixie-loving hipsters like me who, when they see a red light, “blow right through.”
