Brandon Pruitt

Oklahoma native Brandon Pruitt is the new face of progressive country music. With highly energetic shows and unmatched vocal presence, Brandon has captured a very loyal following in both the Southeast and Midwest regions of the U.S. In short, Brandon Pruitt is a must see.
In 2002, Brandon loaded the truck and headed east to Nashville Tennessee. A self-taught poet and guitarist, he naturally placed his focus on molding pen with paper. While attending college in Murfreesboro Tennessee, Brandon talks about one of his first shows,
“I’ll never forget it. I was playing acoustic in this small café. I played a four hour show without a soul in sight, haha. The amount of growth I’ve seen is amazing, to now be playing in front of hundreds and thousands consistently. I definitely feel blessed.” BP
While playing with his band in 2005, Brandon impressed Sony ATV Creative Director Mike Whelan. Whelan and Pruitt soon developed a working relationship and inked an exclusive artist/writer deal in November of the same year.
Upon his arrival at Sony, Brandon immediately began production and recording of his debut album “Red Dirt, Blue Country”, which would be released in the summer of 2006. The album received high praise among the red dirt community with singles such as “Country Boys” and “Oklahoma Way”.
“I received the album and gave it a spin, I kept playing it again and again, each song sinking into the inner reaches of my brain. One thing’s for sure, Oklahoma native Pruitt and his crack team of Red Dirt-loving band members know this genre and how to keep it pure.” Andrew Griffin – Red Dirt Reporter
While at Sony, Brandon consistently co-wrote with country music’s top songwriters, of which include; Buddy Brock ( “Watermelon Crawl”, You’ve Got To Stand For Something” ), Casey Beathard ( “Boys of Fall”, “The Breath You Take ), Michael Heeney ( “Ten Rounds With Jose Quervo”,” I Love Your Love The Most” ), Lee Thomas Miller ( “In Color”, “You’re Gonna Miss This” ), Ashley Gorley ( “Then”, “Start A Band” ), Chris Tompkins ( “Before He Cheats” ) , Clint Danials ( “Brokenheartsville” ), and Lynn Hutton ( “One In The Middle” ).
In 2008, Pruitt’s sophomore studio record “Limited Edition” was released.
“This record was great opportunity to offer my fanbase something that was new and that I felt showcased my growth as a songwriter and artist.” BP
Since the release of “Limited Edition”, Pruitt has spent the majority of his time on the road consistently playing venues such as; PeachTree Tavern (Atlanta, GA), The Country Club (Augusta, GA), Wildhorse Saloon (Nashville, TN), Johnny & Junes ( Winston-Salem, NC), Longbranch (Raleigh, NC), Carolina Nightlife (Darlington, SC), Firelake Grand Casino (Shawnee, OK), Osage Casino (Miami, OK) Brewhouse (Norman, OK), etc… Brandon has shared the stage with; Jamey Johnson, Reckless Kelly, Low Cash Cowboys, Asleep At The Wheel, Cory Morrow, No Justice, BlackHawk, Brantley Gilbert, Cowboy Troy, etc…
“The road has definitely blessed me with perspective. Every venue and artist I’ve had the privilege to work with has been amazing and has given me the opportunity to share what I do with my fans. The response I’ve received over the past few years is unparalleled to anything I’ve experienced prior.”
Most recently, Brandon released his self-titled EP which contains six new tunes. The opening track of the new EP, “Swimmin’” is currently spinning among the Oklahoma radio market and within internet radio forums.

“I was recently playing a show in Norman, OK when a fan approached me. It was then I found out Swimmin’ had been picked up on OKC radio! I really believe in this tune and also the EP as a whole. This group of songs really represents me and where I’m at as an artist today. I’m having a blast on my journey and can’t wait to see what’s next!”
