The brothers are joined at the Tasting Room by Seattle-based saxophonist Brandt Fisher. Brandt plays locally with Kalimba: The Spirit of Earth Wind and Fire, The Jazz Punishments Big Band, and the neo-soul band i///u. He studied jazz performance at Washington State University, where saxophone professor Horace Alexander Young described him as "an exceptionally talented saxophonist who has developed a personal approach to playing that expresses a stark originality." In addition to performing, Brandt teaches lessons and coaches student musicians in the Edmonds School District.
