With a gritty, raw, almost punk-like approach, Brendan shouts and growls with gusto while backed by great old-time sounds such as kazoo, a resonator guitar, washboard (courtesy of Willow Walker) and much more.
There's also a team of fabulous banjo players such as Dan Belgue, Willie Ames, Joey Bell, Minnie Hart (also fiddle), Michelle Horel, Buck Thompson, and Bill Howard (also piano).
Together, they have created some wonderful ragtime music with some muscle and dirt in its soul. The kind that sounds like it came from the speakeasies from the wrong side of the tracks.
You can download this must-have album from his Bandcamp page.
