November's Artist of the Month is Rolland Brunet!
Rolland Brunet
Rolland is a bassist that has been performing in the Syracuse area since 1975. Most notable bands he's been a member of include Kentucky Moon, The Paul Case Band, Big D and the Tasty Cafe, The Sharp Dressed Penguins, TJ Sacco and the Electric Rodeo, JD and Rollin South, and many others. Don't be surprised if you also see him with other local bands as he's first call bassist when an act needs a fill in player in the Syracuse area.
Rolland has also been involved with Victor Wootens Bass Nature Camp in Only TN since 2008. He's currently performing with Jes Sheldon and The Stewards of Sol, Mood Swing, Dave Schneider, and Blue Avenue featuring Mark Doyle and Joanna Nix Jewett.
In addition to his main acts he has been the house bassist for Shiftys Open Mic for the past 30 years (every 4th month of the year) and has upcoming collaborations with The Barndogs Extravaganza at Average Joes in B'ville on November 15th and The Great Salt City Blues Concert at Saint George Church Hall in Syracuse December 26th. He credits his love of music to his parents and his music teacher from North Syracuse High School Burt Dunlap.
Look for upcoming CD's with Blue Avenue and The West Side Social Club in 2026.
