On his fourth album, The Lucky Hustle & The Side Show Shuffle, Seattle singer, songwriter, and performer Billy Brandt delivers a brass‑ring‑grabbing carousel of jazz, rock, blues, and R&B — spun with precision and steeped in a deep devotion to musical storytelling. At turns smooth and swinging, Brandt’s music radiates masculine charm and chutzpah.

The album unfolds in rhythmic layers: rockin’, swingin’, circling back with new color and momentum.
