LATEST VIDEO
Brandi and the Alexanders are a genre-bending soul-rock band from Brooklyn, NY. The dynamic rock βnβ soul quintet β which began as an 11-piece R&B cover band β was founded nearly a decade ago, led by the compelling singer and songwriter Brandi Thompson, a Chicago native who has also been a backing vocalist for Aloe Blacc, Nick Waterhouse, Daptone label artists, and others.
As Brandi and the Alexanders found their own voice, inspired by forebears in blues, rock, soul, and β70s-era funk classics, the group segued from their cover-band beginnings and released a debut album of originals, 2018βs How Do You Like It? on Red Parlor Records. Buoyed by her bandmates, Thompson has further seized upon her own lyrical agency and candor. In the aftermath of 2020 Black Lives Matter marches, she wrote βFire,β perhaps Brandi and the Alexandersβ most formidable song to date, and the spiritual catalyst for their 2022 'Reflection' EP.
New Yorkβs glittering lights and sophisticated grooves serve as Reflectionβs beacon. The seven-track EP adroitly blurs genres: there are club gems (β(I Want To) Watch You Dance)β), funked-up, slow-burn soul (βWhere You Belongβ), and majestic gospel (βAmenβ). Over the last few years, Brandi and the Alexanders have opened for Christone βKingfishβ Ingram, Southern Avenue, Moonchild, The Holdsteady, Eli βPaperboyβ Reed and headlined their own gigs at AmericanaFest, Tryon Blues Festival, Toonerville Music Festival, the WFUV Bash, SXSW and more.
