BIO
He rode the waves with the independent band Dispatch for nine years until July 2004 when the band played its epic finale in Boston. “The Last Dispatch,” drew an estimated 110,000 people. While it marked both the trios final concert together and the culmination of nine years of brilliant music, it so began Braddigans solo career.
Braddigan carries on with the Dispatch legacy spending time building relationships, both locally and overseas, investing in a community of listeners who desire more than just music. His first solo album, Watchfires, released in February 2005 on his new label Third Surfer Music. Braddigans inspiration is drawn from myriad passions including film, family, surfing, and hanging with kids in far-away lands. His songs are rooted in beautifully heavy rhythms, layers of harmonies, and cultural snapshots from his travels.
The combination of Braddigans reggae, folk, Latin and rock is best described as a loving fist-fight between Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, and Pearl Jam. Braddigan is an intense soul, a visionary living a wild and traveled life with a clear purpose of bringing people together. Whether he’s touring in the states or working on one of his projects in Central or South America, his approach is the same, Its never what you do in life, but the heart with which you do it, he offers.
Currently, he has brought 19 artists together for a compilation CD entitled the Relief Project benefitting Save the Children, an organization dedicated to protecting and healing displaced children the world over, as well as several other notable NGO’s. The record was inspired in the wake of last year’s tsunami tragedy in s.east asia and features tracks from Arrested Development, North Mississippi Allstars, Dispatch, Phil Keaggy, Slightly Stoopid, and many more.
