About Rollin

The Story So Far

Rollin Brummette
Biography

Rollin Brummette believes in taking risks. The Americana singer-songwriter and guitarist from Grand Ledge, Michigan turned a life-changing opening set for rock legends into a full-time music career.

His musical style is reminiscent of Tyler Childers and John Denver, but with deeper vocals mixed with country and folk-rock instrumentation. His perceptive lyrics explore change, growth, and relationships against a backdrop of timeless instrumentation.

Inspired by his musician father, John Denver, and classic rock bands like Rush and Boston, Rollin brings an authentic voice to the Americana genre — one rooted in Michigan farmland and refined in Nashville.

Now back in Michigan, Rollin has taken more of a step back at playing the solo acoustic gigs, to focus on his new band Runnin Redlights.
