Our very own chef, Brandon of Brandrew’s Kitchen, knows his way around both the kitchen and a microphone. Watch him closely and you might catch a drumbeat — his bare hands tapping against the kitchen bench as if it were new hardwood or freshly oiled leather.

Chef. Singer. Drummer.

The syncopation doesn’t stop at the stove. The quiet hums between orders and the rhythmic tapping tell the real story — music has always been part of the mix.

Drawn to alternative hits from the ’80s through the ’90s, Level Up delivers a nostalgic punch with a modern edge. Far from your average cover band, they bring high-energy flair that keeps crowds moving. They’ve lit up stages at Elephant's Nest, Jazzbah, Sons of Kent Brewing Co., Ultimate Sports Bar, and Skinny's Bar & Grill — building a reputation for nights that keep the dance floor full.

More Than a Hobby

For Brandon, music isn’t just a side passion — it’s part of who he is. Whether he’s plating a dish or stepping up to the mic, the same rhythm and presence shine through. That energy is exactly what makes a Level Up show one worth experiencing.

Save the Date: Level Up performs 10pm on Saturday, March 7th at The Elephant's Nest.

Mark your calendars — this is one show you won’t want to miss.
