About Us

Branch River Band Members
Branch River Band was founded late 2019 as a country and rock cover band.  Just as we were starting to book shows for 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and shut all of that down.  Much like everyone else, we weathered the storm and used the downtime to hone and perfect our craft.  We now work to make up for lost time and spread good vibes.

Shaunda
Shaunda
Shaunda has been with BRB since the beginning. She does a lot of the booking and planning work and keeps the boys on track. She's been singing since she could talk; much to the chagrin of her parents as she would break out in song at the most inappropriate times and places. Shaunda enjoys 80's rock, but is a very versatile vocalist. She loves the soulful sound of Etta James as well as the screaming vocals of Maria Brink (In This Moment). She's been performing since she was about 10, first in school then in various clubs, plays, choirs, and orchestras. When not performing, Shaunda enjoys hanging with her family and favored child, Aspen (her Great Pyrenees).
