Louisville, Kentucky based, country-blues artist Andy Branton cut his teeth playing guitar in country and rock & roll bands around the West Alabama bar scene. After years of collecting stories and songs while driving up and down Alabama’s highways and dirt roads, he released his debut EP 47 Minutes Away.

Andy assembled a crack team of Birmingham, Alabama’s finest musicians - including Adrian Marmolejo (Early James & the Latest, Zachary Williams & the Dirty Camaros, The StepDads); Les Nuby, formerly of Verbena (Capital Records); Ford Boswell (Early James & the Latest, Zachary Williams & the Dirty Camaros, Will Stewart); and Daniel Raine (Little Raine Band, The StepDads) - to commit his songs to tape. The band worked its magic, cranking out the tunes in just one 8-hour session.

One of the highlights from the record, the ballad Time to Go hauntingly captures the utter doneness you can feel when finally leaving a place. It predicts Andy’s eventual move to Louisville, Kentucky as he sings about driving on “northbound 65” with “a new direction now.” You can find Andy making his way around the country - ever writing, ever singing, ever playing, and ever moving.
