Meet… Eli Bramnick
Eli Bramnick is from Princeton Junction in Mercer County. A graduate of School Of Rock Princeton, an after-school music program, he’s a perfect example of what hard work and dedication to music can lead to. He now lives in Los Angeles and has carved out quite the career for himself. After gigging at numerous Garden State venues including The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, he toured nationally with the School Of Rock All-Stars. Graduating from USC’s Thornton School of Music just last year with a Bachelor of Music degree, he became part of singer-songwriter Peter McPoland’s band. High point had to be opening for Twenty One Pilots on their sold-out arena tour, and performing at Madison Square Garden. Nowadays, he’s an in-demand session and touring guitarist, as well as a producer/arranger with an endorsement by PRS Guitars.
Influenced by such Classic Rock staples as The Beatles, U2, Genesis, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton and Neal Schon, his advice to aspiring musicians is, “no matter which area of the music industry you wish to be a part of, whether on the artistic or business side, making connections is essential. Getting out and meeting people at shows, album release events, and even a party that’s hosted by your friends will expand your network of relationships and introduce you to more people in your field. You never know what kind of future opportunities a 10-minute conversation with someone can make possible.”
