Born and raised in Cotton Valley, LA and signed to Monument Records, Brandon Ratcliff burst onto the scene in 2019 with his debut single âRules of Breaking Up.â After a year of highlights including opening for Kelsea Ballerini, Brett Young, and Keith Urban, being selected as a Pandora Ones to Watch artist, and topping Rolling Stoneâs all-genre Breakthrough Artists chart, the world came to a screeching halt in 2020. At a crossroads with his music, and his life, Ratcliff went back home to figure out who he was and what he wanted to say, and write his next project.
Greatly influenced by the music of the Louisiana delta and the bluegrass engrained in his blood, Tale of Two Towns is a coming-of-age record that reads like a book of Ratcliffâs life these last few years. Emerging from the most revolutionary season of his life, he asks the listener to explore with him what it means to leave home and follow your dreams.
