>> Ty's music is an inspiration to
the world. I am from Saint Benedict and discovered Ty's beautiful and few years
ago when he did a mysterious yahoo chat performance on the mic. His music speaks
to the soul and is a big joy to listen to. He is one of the best performancer
that I heard to date and I love his sounds. Ty will continue only to grow when
he people hear his music. Two thumbs up to Ty and keep up the music.
P.S. Ty where is that autograph that you were going to seen me...lol - Al

>> Ty, Thanks for the great entertainment you provide DC...your a real "pro" - Paul (5/19/07)
>> Your show at the Half Moon was an unexpected treat. I came in for a sandwich and ended up staying all night. Where has this guy been hiding? More, where is he going to go? He should be in Nashville with the so called "big boys". If you want great real country/folk/blues/originals go out and plant yourself in front of this band, you won't be sorry. WOW. Jerry Botslander (10/22/05)
>> Hey there from me in China. I really want to show these folks your music. Knee How! (Ni Hau) Know any Honky Tonks here? Tom Parkison (10/8/05)
>> I would just like to Thank you for being online in the past and sharing your music. When will you come to Minnisota? beer-drinker (9/15/05)
>> Great sound from a great performer. Just what country music needs! S.C. (7/27/05)
>> Ty, Saw you at the Frederick charity show you did a little bit ago and I know you're coming again soon. We couldn't believe what we saw and heard that day on your set. It's great to see you keeping real country alive yet still putting your own twist to it. We thought the club had flown in some ringers from Nashville! Then to find out you're pretty much down the street, well that was great. Keep it up and we're countin the days til the show in June. Conrad Parris (5/27/05)
>> I just had to write to thank you for playing last night at JV's, even with a fever, and feeling bad!! Thankfully your voice was not affected at all: sound was as great as ever!! ( big smile). I wonder how many others might have cancelled because of being ill, but you stuck with it!!
>> I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHEN WILL I FINALLY BE ABLE TO PURCHASE YOUR CD? I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR THAT GREAT SOUND TO BE IN MY CAR AND HOME ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT LONG. SEE YOU AT GRIFF'S. - PE (10/20/04)
>> I have not seen a recent update on "Mr. Honkytonk", but I wanna put in a standing pre-order of 100 copies!! Cuz, I saw you the other Friday, and they were wrong!!!! You have the energy of 11 frieght trains, but take it easy up there. You shouldn't have a race car in RED!! Remember, there's always a seat for you here, right next to the mag-pie. - Tim (10/14/04)
>> KEEP IT COMIN' AND I'LL KEEP ON TRUCKIN!!!! Awesome stuff Ty and you too big bro.. All around good time had by me and my buds everytime we drop bye.. - John (9/28/04)
>> Ty and The Branded Men, Ya'll were SMOKN' Friday night! Thanks for keeping country alive! Christine (7/18/04)
>> Just wanted to say that you guys (and Patty) were really great on Friday when I came to see ya. It was fun singing up there, but I like to watch you better. Hope to see again! Monika (7/7/04)
>>Ty, I just wanted to see when you would be at Griff's again, or playing in the
Maryland, DC area. the web site only goes through June. I heard you for the first time Friday night. It was wonderful. I am
a fan of honky tonk, hard core true country. You certainly hold true to
the industry! I am from Arkansas, but moved here from KS just under a year ago. This is
the first time that I have heard really good stuff since I got here!
Thanks!
Wish you the best with your music! Christine (6/27/04)
>>Hi Ty, I wanted to tell you that I really
enjoyed your show on Friday at Griff's.
Loved your music and your voice. It was my first time at Griffs and I hope to
hear
you again. Beth Lader 06/04/04
>> Champ Deblasio is the one who introduced me to Griffs place and to your band. I was never big on country, but having seen you guys a few times, I really dig it. You did a better job of turning me then did living in Knoxville, TN for 5 years! Your band rocks and I will definitely continue to spread the good word. Thanks again! Paul (5/10/04)
>> I had my first experience at Griffs, as well as my first experience hearing Ty Braddock last Friday night. I was amazed at how awesome his voice sounded. The band was great and attracted sucha a down to earth crowd. I had a good time and can't wait to see Ty again real soon! -Cristina ~neither can Mindy : ) (01/21/04)
>> Well I stumbled upon this little bar in the middle of nowhere for a crazy adventure one Friday night. Little did I know that I would meet such an astonishing gentleman. As a true Elvis fan, its not often that you hear a soulful voice with such passion, and power, well Ty, now I can say that I did. Best of luck to you, and I cant wait to listen to you again! Mindy (01/17/04)
>> Ty, Thanks for helping the Woodfield Teachers feel welcome. 2nd grade will never be the same now that they've they've spent an evening with the branded men...It was a great show tonight and as usual; you never know who's gonna walk onto the stage next. A Harp man with a brief case full of harmonicas, an ex "Texas Jew boy..." (that would be of the Kinky Friedman realm for those unfamiliar...), or an elementary school teacher for that matter. Keep smokin'! Gary (11/15/03)
>> It certainly was good to see you again after all this time. I've missed quite a bit. You deserve all this, you have so many unique and special gifts. I know your drive, you're relentless...best of luck! Miranda (10/07/03)
>> You go boy!!!! You are wonderful. A great person to know.... Hokiepokiekids (10/03/03)
>> Ty, I can't thank you enough for getting Dale
Watson into Griff's Place. You have brought some big time talent in here
in the past but Dale Watson and the show you guys put on tops them all. I
can hardly wait to
see who you bring next. But knowing you and the friends and contacts you
have I'm sure it will be another sell-out crowd. Thanks again for your
music, your commitment, the Branded Men Band, and most of all for
your friendship. Griff (9/30/03)
>> Ty Braddock and Dale Watson, man these dudes are keeping it going, great show, can't say enough. Can't wait to see Dale on the Opry Friday night again. Gary (9/24/03)
>> How does this guy do it? He seems to have connections to everyone in country music that is worth listening too. Kudos to Ty Braddock, the next big thing in country music. That show last night with you and Dale Watson was unreal. These are the two of the best at what they do, together it was incredible. - Bob Sells (9/24/03)
>> Ty, Had a great time at Griffs last night... you and your band were tops as always! Dale Watson and his Lonestars were fabulous! Thanks to my boyfriend Ron I was able to go to Iota last week and see Dale Watson for the first time. They have a REAL Country sound that you don't hear much of anymore. Thanks Ty for presenting all the special guests we've had the privilege to hear at Griffs and for keeping true country music alive. God Bless all of you! Dianna (9/24/03)
>> I really miss you guys. I am suffering from a serious case of "Ty Braddock and The Branded Men" withdrawal. I love you guys and will be back soon. Your favorite addictions counselor - Babs (8/4/03)
>> Hey Ty, we had a great time last night. Your band took us back to Texas for the night...see you soon! Nate and Cindy (8/2/03)
>> Ty has one of the best voices in country music today. Go see them, you'll never leave. Dan Buckley (7/20/03)
>>
Hello Ty - My sister is
your new co-worker, Claudia, and she advises me that you have an
INCREDIBLE voice and music presence! My husband is a big country fan
(of the oldies, not the newbies) and she thought he would enjoy your
music, that's why she told us about your website! Next time we visit
DC we hope to hear you and your band play! Best of luck and I hope you
make it to the BiG TiMe! :) Natalie Garris (7/18/03)
"Life is 10% what your given, and 90% how you choose to react to it - it's
all about Attitude!"
>> I am so impressed!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see your show- the CD is GREAT! Claudia (7/18/03)
>> Ty is the REAL Mr. Heartache!! How about dinner? Oh and he sings great too!! Susan (7/17/03)
>> Hey - Obviously just kidding about that FREEBIRD comment - You woulda-hadta-been-there; Griffs Place that is. Just fell into the place on the way home a few months ago on a Friday night and have overspent a years worth of babysitting cash ever since. Ty and Co. are quite habit forming and you'll need to wean yerself from time to time. My biggest fear is that one Friday we'll show up and they wont! Gary (7/16/03)
>> When are you gonna play FREEBIRD...?!!;}Gary (7/16/03)
>> Hey Guys you are always GREAT
to hear. If I ever get over there I want Smokin Joe to sing Amanda hehe
you know who this is now Guys? These Guys are very Talented and they do keep
with the Real Country sound also, They have a few Friends that Love there work.
Take Care and God Bless you Guys and your work, Brenda (7/16/03)
>> Wow!!! How did you get Buddy Charleton to play with you that night? I thought he had retired from playing live. What a treat to hear one of the best steel players ever in a club atmosphere, what can I say besides THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! John (6/11/03)
>> Go see these people! Steve Feldman (5/10/03)
>> This is one of the best country bands playing on the east coast by far and I would put them up against a lot of bands in the "big time". The energy from this show rivals that of the old outlaw era in country where there was an edge and great feeling in the music. Ty sings every note like its his last, and he draws the listeners in like very few are able to do in a bar/honkytonk setting. With the amount of talent that he brings out all the time its obvious he's well connected and knows the right folks. Go see him now before you have to pay big bucks to do it in the future. CW McReynolds (5/6/03)
>> Ty, you really have some very talented friends!!! Bob Spates is as good as any out there (and I am a big Mark O'Connor fan). Each "guest" artist that you bring in, never fails to entertain and delight us. Keep 'em coming!!!! Ron (4/27/03)
>> Good talking with
you Ty. Looking forward to the new project. Do stay in touch and let
me know if there anything I can do for you. Your friend in REAL country!!!

>> TY and Smokin Joe, I want to Thank you both for bringing your talent into the chat rooms from time to time. It is great to hear you both giving us a free concert. It would be better if you would learn "Once Piece at a time". Best of luck to you and yours. Chuck (3/11/03)
>> Hey what's up ...You were great last week...see ya Friday.... cool site; you can see a movie clip of yourself at http://www.magicsearch.com/4D.ACGI$LAST_PAGE?12213 The Murphy Brothers (3/4/03)

>> My "Good Timin" man and I can't wait to come to Griff's every Friday night to hear "real country" music! What an incredible band! Ty, Fido, Joe, Patty, and Paul. Ty, thanks for keeping "real country" alive! Nadine (1/14/03)
>> Hot-Damn Ty, You and the The Branded "Men" Band, along "Smokin" Joe Cribbin, done one awesome show down there at Griff's Place. Let me tell ya, it's not to easy to find the sound of good, "outstanding", Outlaw and Honky-Tonk music in Maryland, anymore. But, low and behold, finally, right down the road a piece from where I live, I discovered the Austin, Texas, sounds of Dale Watson, Waylon, Cash, some of the Hagg's, along with a mix of good ol' southern rock, of Skynard.
>> Ty, I want to Thank You, for bringing something back, that I thought was
gonna be faded out by this modern, "Pop, Top 40's B.S., that today's radio
markets call, COUNTRY MUSIC!!" "My Ass!!"
Again, Ty, Thanks and lookin' forward to the new cd, that's do out real
soon. Also, Good-Time Jerry "Cole" Lives, Forever!!! Billy Gregg (1/4/03)
>> Well a special Thanks to Ty;
Fido; Patty; Paul and Joe for having Redd and I up there for a wonderful
weekend.
We really cut some cool stuff on Ty's new project coming out....and the Gig was
a blast....hell I felt like I was in downtown Texas.,USA man....what a great
Honky Tonk Griff's is.....and a large time was had by all,,,,,Including
myself. Everyone welcomed us with Open arms and are so kind and
hospitality was over and beyond the call of duty.....I can't think of a better
weekend.
On behalf of Redd and I.....thank you Ty for including us on your great project that folks need to look for when it comes out....It's killer Country Music and I was honored to play Steel on it.....and thank you Fido for the use of the great ShoBud Pedal Steel my brother...I owe ya.
Looking forward for a little get together again.... Ricky (12/16/02)
>> Ty, Just one word to describe your band "Talented" and one to describe you is "One in a million" Haven't heard a band & voice like yours in a long time, and it sure feels great hearing it again. Keep honky tonkin it sounds awsome! (12/15/02)
>> Ty, Fido Man and Patty.... just wanted to say thanks for a great show on Dec. 6. You guys were terrific as always and your guest musicians were fabulous. I know one thing.... Country music was alive and well at Griff's and the crowd was really enjoying themselves. I wish you much success with the new CD. I can't wait to hear it. Looking forward to more great entertainment from "The Branded Men". Catch you later! Dianna W (12/14/02)
>> Holy mackerel!!!!!!!!!!! I was there last Friday when you had Redd Volkaert and Ricky Davis playing with you. I've been playing guitar for 15 years and have NEVER heard anything like that before!!! You sang great and the drummer/bass player combo is deadly! Keep up the good work. Karen (12/13/02)
>> TY, Fabulous, incredible and anything else you can think of to describe your show but Friday night, damn, with Red and Ricky was extra special. Thank you for getting me back to real country country music. I came out to catch one show and I've been coming every Friday for the last seven months. Best of it all to you guys. Al D. (12/13/02)
>> Ty, Anyone who thinks real country music is dead should have been at Griff's last Friday. The show was alive , you sounded great (as usual), and the musical talent was outstanding. Looking forward to the CD and wishing much success for you in the future. - Ron Moretti (12/9/02)
>> Ty, Great show! I finally made good on my promise to come see you and your band and I must tell you, being a musician myself, I was amazed! Your traditional brand of country music was refreshing, coming deep down from the soul. Your show has heart and energy. I will be back for more shows in the future and I look forward to the new CD's. Take care and see ya at GRIFF's! - Eric Huguley (12/7/02)
>> You da man Ty! When you coming to Pittsburgh? - Bobby Sotte (12/4/02)
