BRANDON—The day started a little cool but heated up at Kennedy Park as local musicians Doug Ross and Wade Davis kicked out some tunes. A few originals (Doug’s songs from his CD “All-Time Smash Hits,” available from his wife, Liz) accented awesome covers from Wade’s steady bass and Doug’s gently weeping guitar. Wade, who self-proclaimed a great start to a new decade as he turned 50 that day, also slapped on the cajón, a percussion box originally from Peru.

“It’s great to provide music for people strolling around Brandon,” said Doug. “It shows what a fun town we live in.”
Then, Breanna Elaine graced Red Clover and fans with originals and creative covers like “Space Cowboy,” which prompted Saturday afternoon audience participation. One original favorite, “Belly of a Whale,” is about coming out if difficult times.
“It’s a really well-written song,” said Red Clover Co-owner Andy Gates, who invites Breanna back whenever possible.
Breana was excited to share more new songs before she heads back to the recording studio soon. “It’s always a good time at Red Clover,” she said. “One of my favorite venues!”
