BRANDON POLETTI

From the hills of Perth, Western Australia, comes a songwriter with a big heart and a great appreciation for each day. His name's Brandon Poletti. Growing up Brandon lived for riding motorbikes, driving worn out cars on their property and playing his guitar. Throughout the years this interest in music grew into a burning passion for the art of songwriting and he loved the idea of telling stories and messages through his music. Often his poignant lyrics discuss themes of the search for contentment, nostalgia and heartache. Brandon’s music would best be described as a smooth cocktail with a little bit country, a hint of folk and occasionally a touch of rock.

It all began in 2016, when a 20-year-old Brandon, struggling with stage anxiety, performed on the live music circuit in Perth for the first time, singing songs he had only played solo in his room. Seven years later, that nervous young man has transformed into a confident performer who can engage an audience and deliver a show like a pro.

Typically, Brandon performs with his backing band, The Eagleton Brothers, composed of some of his closest friends: Anthony Eagleton, Daniel Slee, Justin Gimm, and Miles Gilbert. Over the past few years, Brandon Poletti and The Eagleton Brothers have toured extensively throughout Australia and the UK. Their hardwork has paid off after being awarded WA country group of the year for 2023. If you're interested in having them perform in your town, please let us know via our contact form.

In the past few years, Brandon has released multiple singles and two EPs and most recently his debut album, Now In Hindsight. This album is a compilation of eloquent songs that reflect Brandon's past experiences. "Each song on this album has significant sentimental value to me, and I'm not usually a sentimental person. However, the moments they depict have either good or bad memories attached to them, and it's nice that as a songwriter, I can use them to connect with other people who may have gone through similar experiences."

Recently, Brandon has been hard at work completing his third EP, set to be released in 2024. "Whether it's a more rock-oriented track making you drum on your steering wheel, or one of the slower ballads evoking memories of happier times, I just want to make people feel something," he says. These new tunes, once again recorded and produced with his longtime friend and musical collaborator, Josh Dyson, feature telecasters brimming with gain, harmonies in layers, and train grooves reminiscent of Johnny Cash that take you back to the days of honky-tonks.
