BRODIE LANE
It can easily be said that BRODIE LANE is a direct product of the 2020-2021 pandemic, as venues, tours & the world halted to a complete stop, eviscerating live music & artists' existence. Formed by Austin, TX veteran songwriter/vocalist/guitarist AJ Vallejo, the band naturally came together by default with the city mostly in shutdown from jam sessions to pass the slowed time with long-time drinking buddies & neighbors, Bruce Castleberry (guitar), Alex Geismar (drums), & Joe Fladger (bass).
An award-winning producer on his own merit, AJ had written & recorded somewhere around 30 life-inspired songs of love & chaos during the shutdown. These songs became the catalyst for the group to start bringing to life with their undeniable chemistry & collective well-versed knowledge on how to build a dangerous musical force. It wouldn't take long before the public took notice of the band's determination & grit with their fiery live shows and dominance in music video & media content determinably promoting their self-proclaimed 'Hot Dirt Music', a mix of roots-rock, alt country & southern rock.
