decker.

Hi friends,

For many years, you have known me through my band decker.

That name became shorthand for a chapter of my life. But my name is Brandon, and this feels like the right time to speak more directly as myself.

That chapter shaped my life in profound ways. The albums, the shows, the tours and festivals, the electricity of those rooms and the tightrope walk of it all. I am proud of that body of work and grateful for the experiences and meaningful relationships it brought into my life.

Over the past few years, my life has shifted in significant ways. I experienced personal loss, losing all of my elders in a short span of time. With that came a season of grief, reflection and recalibration. What began as a quiet inward turn gradually became a clearer sense of what I am meant to build next.

The season of decker. as it has existed is coming to a close. We plan to host one or two final shows this year to honor that chapter properly. I will share more when the time comes.

At the same time, something new has been taking shape.

I have been studying and training in yoga, meditation, sound facilitation and coaching, and I am cultivating smaller, more intentional gatherings. I am now offering weekly yoga classes and small retreats beginning here in Sedona. Classes and retreats centered around presence, embodiment and real connection.

This is not a departure from what I have always cared about. In many ways, it feels like a continuation, simply expressed differently.

And yes, I am still making music. That part of me is not going anywhere. It simply lives in a new context now.

To those of you who have supported and followed along over the years, thank you. I am looking forward to sharing what is next.

Brandon
