Rick BrantleyHailing from the storied musical grounds of Macon, Georgia, Rick Brantley was raised on a steady diet of Southern gospel, gritty blues, and classic rock ’n’ roll. From the hymns echoing in his father’s Southern Baptist church to the raw energy of barroom stages, music wasn’t just a passion — it was the language of his world.
By his late teens, Brantley had already begun carving out his place in the music scene, earning a reputation as a magnetic performer with a storyteller’s soul. A move to Nashville solidified his footing as a sought-after songwriter, penning songs for a diverse roster of artists, including Ruston Kelly, The White Buffalo, Meat Loaf, and David Nail. But Brantley wasn’t content to stay behind the scenes — he was made for the road.
Over the next decade, Brantley toured relentlessly, building a loyal following across the U.S. and Europe. He shared the stage with artists as varied as John Hiatt, Brandy Clark, Zac Brown, and Kiefer Sutherland, while also headlining his own shows from Ontario to Hamburg, Los Angeles to NYC, and back again.
A true multi-hyphenate, Brantley has expanded his creative reach beyond songwriting and performance. He’s produced critically acclaimed records for longtime collaborators like Rob Baird and Justin Halpin, and directed a number of strikingly creative music videos. His versatility as both an artist and a craftsman has become a hallmark of his career.
In 2022, Brantley relocated to Brooklyn, New York, releasing his EP “BLUE” — a bold sonic departure that embraced lush string arrangements and cinematic textures, thanks to producer Bryan Dawley. The project marked a new chapter, both musically and geographically.
That same year, Brantley entered the world of pops symphony collaborations, working with renowned conductor and composer Jeff Tyzik on Country Hits: Songs From Nashville, a genre-celebrating symphonic concert experience that continues to tour nationally. He also appears in pops shows Revolution and Twist & Shout, and will debut in Sounds of Laurel Canyon in 2025.
Now, nearly two decades into his career, Rick Brantley remains a tireless creator — one who thrives at the intersection of tradition and evolution, roots and ambition, soul and showmanship.
“This is it. This is what I always wanted to do: create something and share it with people,” he says. “The fact that I still get to do it almost 20 years later is crazy. Crazy good.”

Alan was a credited soloist on the 2006 Academy Award-winning documentary March of the Penguins, and recent motion picture projects have included Mank, Free Guy, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and The Adam Project. This being Hollywood, however, he has also been a surly mall entertainer on The Simpsons, a ragtime-playing elephant in Cats Don’t Dance, and a one-handed thug in Tangled who dreamt of leaving the life of crime to become a concert pianist.
Alan is likely the only artist both to be recognized as a Freunde des Hauses Bösendorfer and to have been caricatured by name on a Warner Brothers cartoon.
