<p>Billy Brandt w/The Thing &amp; The Stuff Band’s music has working class appeal that radiates masculine charm and chutzpah. A voice like dark roasted coffee with a hint of cream and a band as sweet as the cube of sugar. His original music speaks to themes of love, loss and possibility, reflecting a depth of influences from Ray Charles and Lou Rawls to Frank Sinatra and Mose Allison. Armed with persuasion, stage presence and his rockin’ group The Thing &amp; The Stuff Band, Billy charms audiences with a confection of jazz, rock, blues and soul.</p>
