A country boy from the heart of Oklahoma, Brent and his band, Dakota, are excited to share their journey along the way to country music fame and fortune and hope you will stay close by and follow them day by day.

They're all busy in studio right now recording an album named after the title track 'Now and Forever,' Brent's newest single to be released to the public very soon.

While Brent provides the smooth lead vocals that take you home with a sound deemed the finest in Country and Western nostalgia, Scott Foster plays lead guitar, slide guitar, and harmony vocals. Matt Brislawn provides accompaniment on the mandolin, fiddle, viola, and banjo and adds to the mix with harmony vocals.  Shirley Vanfossen chimes in with vocals and plays bass guitar.  John Higgins shows his many talents on piano, electric keys, Hammond B-3 and synthesizer while the renowned Alan Adams shares harmony vocals as he delivers the beat on the drums and other percussion.

The members that make up Dakota are considered some of the finest musicians in the business.  Most recently having appeared in Las Vegas, their music prowess comes from a wide variety of musical influences that include jazz, classic rock, oldies, rhythm and blues, Celtic and country.

Brent and Dakota have taken their music worldwide, and are looking forward to touring soon.  With a great love and appreciation for their audiences, they all want to get back to the whole reason they sing, that is, to share the intimate concert experience with their fans and friends.

If you haven’t attended a concert with Brent Payne and the group, you need to come and enjoy their tunes which will surely make you part of the Brent Payne country music family.  While his music may get you up and get you moving, his soft spoken good ol’ country gentlemanly manners will captivate your heart no matter where you come from in your journey to Payne country.
