" Joao Brandi is a Master guitar player and a Professional in every sense of the world. He has played in and recorded on many projects for me over the years. He has always been well rehearsed and prepared to deliver incredible creative ideas and execute at the highest level. I would recommend Joao as a session guitar player or live player for any kind of music. He also has great stage presence and has elevated our projects in that way. On top of being an incredible guitar player, he has a super voice and can be counted on to deliver great harmonies with consistency and excellent pitch and tone. If you need to push your projects to the next level and require a guitar player, you need look no further than Joao. I just can't say enough about his outstanding talent and professionalism. He is also one of the most cooperative and friendly musicians I've dealt with in my career."

To whom it may concern; My name is Antoine, and I run the music publisher "Leerecs".
"I had the privilege of interviewing João Brandi for our Talk Radio program "Sunday Coffee with..."
I was very impressed with João's talent and musicianship, as well as with his dedication to his craft and charming personality.
João is a natural personality as well as a talented musician. He's shown to us an extraordinary dedication to his music and an unusual consistency to carrying his musicianship forward, that unfortunately is not all that common in the music industry. We can attest for João's musical dedication and willingness to continue creating Music and improving his skill, one's already quite exceptional nonetheless."

"The first time I saw João playing, he was jamming and soloing on an old acoustic guitar, the sound he was able to squeeze out of those old strings was so clean and pure. I knew then I was in presence of a master of his craft. His relentless hard work and love for music have set him apart, Joao is one of the very few guitarists that have given the time and dedication to study masters like Robert Johnson and Jimmy Page, just to name a few. Watching and listening to Joao perform his original songs live, is to embark on a journey through his poetic lyrics, whipping guitar solos and sweet melodies. The man lives and breathes Blues and Rock and Roll and he makes sure you feel it through his playing"

Recently, a musician friend encouraged me to connect with Joao Brandi. After a couple of messages between us, Joao told me about an upcoming gig, which I attended. His band Vooltoo played at a venue in Sacramento on a Sunday night. I was surprised at first to see how big the crowd was for the first of 3 bands. Propelled by Joao’s outstanding guitar playing, the trio packed non-stop excitement into a 30 minute set. The crowd was immediately swept into the energy of the band and by the end were yelling for more. It was one of the most entertaining evenings I’ve had in quite awhile. I look forward to seeing them again soon.
