Sea Sessions Presents: Rick Brantley

Experience the ultimate way to discover new musical artists and new music in San Diego. SEA SESSIONS brings together live music and bay cruising in a brand new way. You’ll be welcomed aboard the NERISSA, a gorgeous 73 foot motor yacht, along with the other guests for the evening. Then, you’ll soak in the beauty of the San Diego Bay and the city lights at sunset as you cruise the harbor in style. Next, you’ll join the rest of the guests for a 60 minute intimate acoustic performance by our featured musical guest that evening. Every artist we showcase is handpicked for their talent, accolades, and our belief they’re all going to be household names in the near future. We encourage you to check out the calendar on our website to read about each artist and hear their music. A full bar and light bites are also available for cash/card purchase on every cruise. Check out theseasessions.com for more information and to secure your reservations for this one-of-a-kind event.

About Rick Brantley…

Hailing from the musical mecca of Macon, Georgia, and raised in the deep Southern roots of blues music, classic rock n‘ roll and the fire and brimstone hymns of his father’s Southern Baptist church, for Rick Brantley, a life making music was never really a choice.

Teenage bar bands gave way to a move to Nashville, TN where he established himself as one of the most in demand young writers on Music Row, with cuts ranging from Meat Loaf to David Nail. An artist and dynamic performer as well as a songwriter, Brantley cut his teeth early and secured a well-earned reputation as a consummate “road dog” touring virtually nonstop all over the world for the next decade, opening for everyone from John Hiatt to Kiefer Sutherland to Zac Brown and Brandy Clark, as well as headlining his own shows from Ontario to Hamburg and back.

Now some fifteen years into his career, Brantley has only added to his impressive portfolio, producing acclaimed records with artists like Rob Baird and Justin Halpin, among others and directing music videos in his down time.

Living in Brooklyn, New York these days and expanding his musical horizons by producing and music directing Pops Symphony shows in addition to his own touring and recording, even Brantley admits it would be hard to predict his next move.

“I’m okay with that,” he laughs.
