Kemah Boardwalk presents the Kemah Texas Summer Concert Series.  Wednesday, June 29  featuring a free concert with Brandon Rhyder!

Brandon Rhyder has become a staple in the alt-country/Texas Music scene over the last few years. With his audiences and fanbase growing, Brandon Rhyder is known as much for his songwriting as he is for his distinctive voice. He doesn’t write for a specific genre, but rather for the inspiration he receives.

Brandon Rhyder had a vision for his "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" album and new songs were definitely a top priority. "I just didn't want to play all previously released songs. I wanted the fans to have something different and something with some new perspective mixed in with the songs that helped get us to where we are now," Brandon said.

Of course, Brandon made sure to give the fans what they wanted too. Songs like "Freeze Frame Time," "Backroads," and "Let the Good Times Roll" are all staples for any given Brandon Rhyder show. "As an artist there are songs that define your career and those songs need to be played at shows and most definitely placed on a "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" record. We are so blessed to live this crazy dream and our fans are the reason we get to do so. I say it each night; without them, I'm a nine to fiver," Brandon tells me with a smile. It's easy to see and hear when you listen to this collection of tunes that Brandon really gave all he had on this recording...just like he does each and every night his feet touch the stage!
