Interview with Brandon Stansell
We had the pleasure of interviewing Brandon Stansell over Zoom video.
Seven years after the release of his debut single, singer/songwriter Brandon Stansell has come to occupy a unique niche within country music.
He has been an ardent advocate for the queer community and the advancement of LGBTQ artists in the still widley conservative genre. In 2018, Brandon\u2019s music video for his single \u201cHometown\u201d was the first LGBTQ-themed video to ever premiere on CMT. It was also named one of Rolling Stone\u2019s 10 Best Country Videos of the Year. In 2020, he released Hurt People (the title track featuring Cam) - a heartbreaking EP about his own family\u2019s response to his coming out.
The EP also served as the soundtrack to his documentary, Three Chords And A Lie, where the Tennessee-born artist lays bare his struggles with his Southern Baptist family as he prepares for his first hometown show. The documentary was produced by OutTV and Leslie Jordan and premiered at OutFest in Los Angeles in August 2020.
Brandon\u2019s newest project, This Must Be The Place, released September 2021 via PEG Records and Warner Music Group/ADA is an amalgam of the tear-inducing country music of his previous efforts and a compelling pop vibrancy of hope. This Must Be The Place, the LP, which includes the original six tracks plus four additional tracks was released June, 24 2022.
