THE BRAINS & BRAWN FORMED IN DECEMBER OF 2012 A "WINTER HERMIT PROJECT" FOR JOSEPH SOUZA AND SHANNON JOHNSON RECORDED AT THE LOUNGE A HOME RECORDING STUDIO WHERE DURING A MINNESOTA WINTER A DARK BEER AND PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT IS THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP YOU WARM & AVOID CABIN FEVER. FUSING THEIR DIFFERENT MUSICAL SYTLINGS THEY STARTED WRITING & RECORDING MUSIC CREATING WHAT BECAME " THE BRAINS & BRAWN." THE BRAINS & BRAWN WILL BE RELEASING THEIR FIRST EP ENTITLED "LOVE DOESN'T WAIT" @ CLUB UNDERGROUND IN NE MPLS ON JUNE 22ND 2013 AND WILL CONTINUE RECORDING MUSIC FOR A FULL LENGTH CD WHILE MAINTAINING THEIR FOCUS AS PRIMARILY A STUDIO PROJECT. PRODUCED AND ENGINEERED BY JOSEPH SOUZA & MASTERED BY OWEN SARTORI @ F5 STUDIOS THE BRAINS AND BRAWN EP "LOVE DOESN'T WAIT" CROSSES A GENRE SPECTRUM FROM POP/INSTRUMENTAL/DRIVING ROCK & FOLK. THIS EP IS A WORK THAT ENCAPSULATES BOTH JOSEPH & SHANNON'S 10 PLUS YEARS OF PERFORMING SONGWRITING & PLAYING MUSIC IN BOTH THE TWIN CITIES AND MISSOURI.
