BRANDON HOLLINGER saxophone, clarinet and flute

Since graduating from Eastman School of Music, Brandon has been teaching private lessons in Lancaster and has had the pleasure of palying in diverse settings with groups like Break City (jazz), Virginia's Furnace Mountain Band (celtic), Spaghetti Gypsies (gypsy/latin), NC's SNMNMNM (geek rock) Boston's Hypnotic Clambake (eclectic), Lancaster's Inca Campers (folk).

Known by friends and collegues for his constant search for musical inspiration and his passionate belief in "leaving a small footprint" in the natural world, Brandon ardently bikes, having collected not only a European recumbent, but most recently a nostalgic early 1970's British Raleigh.  He can be seen regularly riding to Central Market in Downtown Lancaster near his home. A recent trip abroad allowed for 4 months of biking and camping, following and recording good music wherever he went.  Finding himself at the tail end of a funeral march or in a pub, he found the most surprising music in unexpected, out of the way places.

Brandon is currently performing with the American Music Theatre (his day job), on Princess Cruises (when on vacation), and most recently with the Harrisburg Symphony's Stuart Malina Big Band, and the Philadelphia Viruosi Chamber Orchestra.
