Many people have come to know Brandon Rhyder’s name and music over the last few years.  Regionally he’s definitely a staple of the Texas scene.  Brandon Rhyder is different. When you hear the voice you know it’s unmistakably him. When he comes out with a new single you never know what you’re going to get.  Brandon Rhyder loves to take you to the top and then jerk the rug out from under you and start the process all over again.  Brandon Rhyder doesn’t write for a genre, but rather for the inspiration he receives.    

‘I take pride in the songs that I write and want to be able to sing many of them for years to come.  I still have a lot to learn and as life presents itself I’ll continue to strive to get better,’ says Brandon.   

The album Head Above Water, available now on iTunes and  www.brandonryhder.com also includes a bonus DVD featuring an exclusive behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of this disc.   

Produced by longtime friend and mentor Walt Wilkins, Head Above Water is Brandon’s sixth full-length album and is the follow-up to Every Night. To date, Brandon has delivered 3 Top 20 singles, 2 Top 10 singles, 4 Top 5 singles and now 2 No. 1 singles with “Rock Angel” and “Before I Knew Your Name.”  

Whether it is in his writing, performing or everyday life Brandon is always striving to get better. And his unerring dedication continues with the release of the Don William’s cover, “Lord I Hope This Day Is Good” to radio on January 17, 2011. The single will be featured as a bonus studio track on Brandon’s upcoming Live at Billy Bob’s Texas album, scheduled to record on February 25, 2011. This marks a historical event, as this will be the first time that Smith Music Group has released a bonus studio track before the Live at Billy Bob’s recording has taken place!
