Denver-based guitarist and producer Brandon Craven, who makes music under the name don., has the Jonas Brothers to thank for setting his music career in motion. “He was shredding a guitar solo, and I turned to my parents like, ‘It would be so cool to learn that.’” His parents obliged with guitar lessons, eventually leading him to study music at CU Denver. He teamed up with Arden Records again for his latest project, “The Grand Gentle” which they suggested splitting into two EPs for an extended rollout. “The Grand Gentle Part 1” and “The Grand Gentle Part 2” are available now on all streaming platforms.
