Search - Rick Brantley :: Prize Fight Lover Soul Auctioneer

When Rick Brantley opens his mouth, it is time to listen. Behind his thunderous voice, pounding piano, and pulsing rock guitar lies a vision, or, as Brantley puts it, a "battle cry." It is hard to believe that the music and lungs responsible for this authentic 21st century "millenium rock & roll" originates from such a young Georgia native, but Brantley sees his youth as an asset. He gives rock & roll a conscience and an unshakeable purpose, combining Otis Redding's moan and Joe Cocker's growl with all the heart-pounding intensity of a breathless Bruce Springsteen. In his own words, he views himself and his music as "a mouthpiece for many things: tolerance, freedom, love, hope, justice, peace...war...God's instrument to change this world." On his stellar new release "Prize Fight Lover Soul Auctioneer," Rick Brantley artfully delivers the flickering human spirit standing up to the grit of reality.
