Off the Charts: Brandon Elder
Welcome back to Off the Charts. I’m so glad you’re here! I have not had an article out in a couple of weeks because I took some time to rest and clear my mind. For the most part, I took June off from writing and photography. Everyone needs a break, even me!
When I began this column, I jotted down some names of people or bands I would like to introduce you to. The name Brandon Elder was on that list!
I was first introduced to Brandon’s music in March of 2024 when I had an assignment to shoot the Conference USA basketball Championship. The Von Braun Center hosted three nights of local entertainment as part of the celebration, and Brandon happened to be playing the Friday Night show.
I had heard the name Brandon Elder while researching my book on Side Tracks Music Hall. Of course, now I wish I had seen him perform at Side Tracks. After hearing him for the first time in March, though, I became a quick fan.
I didn’t get a chance to meet Brandon face-to-face at the concert in March, but we did chat via messenger on Facebook, where I messaged him a couple of the pictures I took that night.
For this interview, I met Brandon at Big Spring International Park in downtown Huntsville. We sat and talked about him and his musical journey. I now know him better, and soon, I think you will, too!
My first question, of course, was to dig deeper into who Brandon Elder is, so read on below.
OTC: For those who may not be familiar with you, tell me a little bit about Brandon Elder.
BE:I’m 29 years old and from Union Grove, Alabama. I started playing music about 7-8 years ago and just started writing and working on songs, and it just went from there. Then, I just started making a career out of it. I love playing music! I love all my fans and am excited for the Alabama Smoke Show coming up here on July 26th.
OTC: I saw that you were a contestant on American Idol.
