BRANDON — On March 9 Brandon Music will host singer-songwriter, Steve Hartmann. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Hartmann majored in piano and double majored in stage performance and song writing. The Jericho resident is known for his unique sound, pristine vocals and engaging stage presence that draws you in and leaves you stunned.
Hartmann was born in Dalat, Vietnam towards the end of the Vietnam War. He was adopted at the age of 5 months, and struggled to find a sense of belonging until he found music at the age of 12.  He’s a self taught guitar player and a classically trained pianist.  He started the journey of finding his “sound” when he met his best friend and bassist, Drew Breder, at age 18. 
Using various vocal effects and looper pedals, his sound has grown to be readily identifiable as his own.   Having opened for major label acts like Jeffrey Gaines, Chris Carrabba and Reeve Carney,  and won several singer-songwriter contests, Hartmann’s dynamic vocal range, lyrically driven tunes and captivating stage presence sets him apart. 
Catch this act at Brandon Music on Saturday, March 9, at 7:30 p.m. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for an extra $25.  Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB.
