who am i?

My name is Brandon Ruch. I come from a small town called Port Colborne in Southern Ontario, Canada, where I picked up a guitar for the first time when I was 9. I should tell you all the things I love about music here, but if was to do that there wouldn't be any more space on this page for the things you came here to find. Let's just say that whether I'm behind a soundboard, guiding the creative direction, playing my instrument, or just listening at home, what music offers my soul can't be articulated by the keys on this keyboard. It's what gets me out of bed, it's what I want to be doing all day, and it's what keeps me up at night. For all intents and purposes, it is my existence.

GUITARIST

As a session guitarist, my focus is always on musicality. Bringing each song to life in a way that serves the sound coming off the stage. With a degree in jazz guitar performance and years of experience playing in bands across genres like country, rock, blues, pop, and jazz, I’ve worked hard to develop the musical vocabulary and versatility to understand what a song needs—and the ability to execute and deliver it.
