BRANDON SISNEROZ
DRUMS & PERCUSSION
Brandon grew up in Southern California and toured the country as a musician before settling in Minneapolis in the 2000s. When he’s not building stage sets, reconfiguring climbing walls, fabricating percussion instruments, making wine or pursuing one of his other many and diverse interests, Brandon is behind the kit for 32nd Street Jazz, bringing a polyrhythmic fluidity to the drums that goes well beyond simply keeping time.
