Stephen Brannen's musical background is diverse - covering many styles
such as country, folk, bluegrass, jazz, rock, blues, gospel, Broadway,
and classical. He has studied music theory and composition, and has a
bachelor�s degree in Recording Industry Production and Technology from
Middle Tennessee State University. Although Stephen has played many
instruments since first learning the piano at the age of eight, his
favorite instruments are those with strings. He is an extremely gifted
and versatile guitarist who is always in demand. More than a guitarist,
he is a talented composer and producer.
Stephen recorded his first album entitled "Songs of the South" in the
Spring of 2000. This album is an instrumental album featuring acoustic
guitar, hammered dulcimer, mandolin and banjo. The album is available at
www.musicmill.com in the
instrumental section.
As a parent of two young daughters, and the husband of a dance teacher, Stephen is very familiar with
children's dance music. He now enjoys applying his musical talents to the
creation of
our music for young dancers.
Stephen lives in Colorado Springs, CO with his family, where he is
guitarist for the United States Air Force Band. In his spare time,
Stephen enjoys spending time with his family, riding bicycles and
leading worship at church.
