Brandon Santini (born February 3, 1982) is an American roots rock and blues harmonica player, singer and songwriter. Several of his releases have made the national Billboard Blues Chart. He has been nominated for multiple Blues Music Awards and multiple Blues Blast Music Awards.[1] Blues Blast magazine called him "one of the best harp players in the blues scene today."[2] His music is featured in the CBS television series “Marshals,” (S1 E4) a spin off of the hit series “Yellowstone,”Paramount+ television series “Tulsa King” (S3 E5&7), as well as the CBS original television series, “Fire Country,” (S2 E8) and The NBC Peacock Network’s original television series, “Poker Face,” (S1 E4).
Santini was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States, and took up harmonica at age 15 after hearing Blues Traveler vocalist and harmonica player John Popper. Not only influenced by Popper, he was also influenced by the classic blues harp players of the 1950s and 1960s.[3] He moved to Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 21 where he mastered playing the blues in clubs on Beale Street.[4]
