Brandon Hale, a Seattle native, has always been a creative soul. He was accepted into an Art and Music program in high school that was awarded to his school through a federal grant, and that's where he truly discovered his passion for painting, sculpting, writing, singing, and playing guitar. But Brandon's artistic journey didn't stop there. He spent many summers at his grandpa's bar in the remote northwestern corner of Montana called Yaak, where he fell in love with classic outlaw country singers like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Hank Williams Jr. thanks to his grandpa's trusty jukebox.
