New Tour Dates And Stunning New Single Announced!

Published: 23 April 2025

Brandon McPhee’s latest single, “Don’t Sit On My Jimmy Shands,” is a lively tribute to Scottish musical heritage, originally written by Richard Thompson OBE. Brandon brings his own signature blend of Scottish and country flair to the arrangement, showcasing both his voice and his accordion mastery.

Brandon’s deep connection to Sir Jimmy Shand—the legendary accordionist whose influence spans generations—is at the heart of this release. Although Brandon was only four years old when Sir Jimmy passed away, his music has remained a lifelong source of inspiration and guidance.

The track was recorded between Studio D Wick in Scotland and Stormwest Studios in Nashville, with production support from Phil Anderson. Final mastering was handled by John Mayfield of Mayfield Mastering, whose impressive credits include work for Taylor Swift, Willie Nelson, and Rascal Flatts. We are truly honoured to have such distinguished talent involved.

We hope you enjoy this heartfelt new single, celebrating Brandon’s two greatest passions: singing and the accordion.
