Brandon Kellum (American Standards)

SPB: Have you ever forgotten lyrics midsong? How did you recover?

Brandon: There’s always the fear that I’ll forget a part before going on stage especially if we’re playing something new. Normally the songs become second nature though and the words seem to come from somewhere outside of conscious thought. That’s not to say that I haven’t got lost in the music though and realized that I missed a part entirely. Luckily I have the benefit of a crowd that likes to scream along (and I highly encourage that).
