Growing up in The Great Lake State, but now residing in Pueblo, Colorado, music was always a part of Brendon’s childhood. What started at the age of 5 when his grandfather took him to The Alpena Lumberman’s Chorus (Barbershop practice) and his mother sang in church every week, he was always referred to as the ‘musical child’ in his family. To this day, Brendon lists Johnny Cash amongst his biggest influences also throwing in the likes of Elvis, Carl Perkins, Carlene Carter, Marty Stuart and Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats. These artists, like all of his favorites released music with a strong message while still leaving listeners feeling happy. Now, he strives to bring this same joy to others by way of his original music. “All of my originals come from the heart. My inspiration comes from years of trials and tribulations on this earth. My wish is that my music makes an impact on someone’s life. If I can take someone to a special place or time for 2 minutes in a song or 2 hours on stage, then I have done my job. Mission complete.” With dreams of playing big venues and performing on the Grand Ole Opry, one thing is certain. Brendon Mac has big plans for the future, and based on what we’ve already seen, that future has even greater plans for him.
