Brandon Flowers Finds Home in Country | Salt Lake City News

Brandon Flowers is making a bold musical return to his roots, embracing country music on his new album “Thrasher” — not as a departure, but as a long-overdue homecoming. Raised in rural Utah listening to Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings with his dad, he spent years embarrassed by those influences, but now proudly celebrates them. The album and intimate live shows — even in venues as small as 300 seats — let him reconnect with his upbringing, blending mariachi, Roy Orbison, and Oasis into a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh. He still delivers Killers anthems like “Mr. Brightside,” proving his global appeal remains intact — but this time, it’s all about gratitude, authenticity, and coming full circle.
