Our Beginning
How We Were Formed
The Brandon Ragan Project formed to blend a classy edge to the classic funk & blues sounds that are ever present in the ongoing entertainment and nightlife music.
All of our musicians are local artists that have been performing in the Ventura and Los Angeles areas for over a decade.
Our performances bring people together to dine, drink and dance.
