His major influences are J.D. Crowe, Kenny Ingram, and Terry Baucom. His banjo playing brings back the intensity of the first generation bands. Brandon plays a 1959 Gibson with a Frank Neat custom-75 neck or Custom Huber Lancaster.

The Gandy Brothers are proud to have as a member Mr. Eddie Dee. He plays mandolin for the group and brings a sound which represents, I think, "Traditional Bluegrass". He is the most experienced person in the band. He has played with the likes of Vassar Clements and has been in the bluegrass scene for many years. Mr. Dee plays a Gibson F-5 Goldrush.
