Melvin Brannon was born on July 6, year unknown, in
Seattle, Washington, USA
Melvin studied music at the Mount Hood Community College.
He played in various bands - including Top 40, jazz-fusion, funk,
blues and rock bands. This showed Melvin's incredible talent and
ability to play any style of music
Melvin joined the Dan Reed Network after allegedly
hassling the guys for an audition. And then they heard him play....
Melvin has been all over the place since Dan Reed
Network split up in 1993
Melvin recorded with, and then toured with Stevie
Salas in Japan & Europe (including the Garage in Highbury, London,
just up the road from Seven Sisters Road (!)) - that was some gig
and I couldn't have been more surprised when I saw Melvin up on
the stage with Stevie. Back in Portland, Melvin recorded a couple
of albums with a trancey experimental band called 'Land of The Blind'
And in 2000, Melvin got back to letting it rip, joining
Edgar Winter's touring band
