Brandon Kinder may not be a household name but there’s a good chance you’ve heard his songs or his voice somewhere over the past few years. As frontman for Austin’s anthemic rock group The Rocketboys, as a solo singer under his own name and via his Wealthy West moniker, Kinder’s music has been used in an enormous array of TV shows, indie movies and commercials.
Ultimately there is an honesty to the music. There are no wasted lyrics to fill space. Where the Wealthy West is clear on his road there’s a sense of joy. Where he’s confused or foundering, there’s a feeling of hope and experience to get through it all.
