Brad Allen is a Kansas City–based singer-songwriter and drummer known for writing smart, catchy, and emotionally resonant songs. Drawing on influences like Fountains of Wayne, Paul Simon, and Green Day, Brad blends power pop energy with thoughtful lyricism and a DIY indie spirit.
Brad’s music is crafted in his home studio, where he writes, performs, and records everything himself. The result is a body of work that feels personal and immediate — hook-driven pop-rock with a human edge, built around strong melodies and honest storytelling.
Lyrically, Brad gravitates toward songs that balance humor, vulnerability, and sharp observation. His writing often explores everyday moments, personal contradictions, and modern absurdities, pairing relatable narratives with memorable hooks and tight arrangements.
Before carving out his path as a solo artist, Brad performed for several years in the U.S. Army Band — an experience that shaped his discipline, versatility, and work ethic. Today, he brings that professionalism to his solo work and live performances, delivering engaging shows built around acoustic guitar, strong vocals, and songs that connect quickly with audiences.
