He continues to write and record with The Stone Merchants and one of Western Canada's longest running bands, Tacoy Ryde. In 1996, Brant released a Factor-supported recording produced by Jamie Kidd entitled, "Al Brant & The Waterbirds". This recording garnered glowing reviews and regular airplay on CKUA and CBC radio.

Bravo Television Productions is producing the show for airing on national television, under the direction of John Armstrong and Tim Folkman
Brant is also a staff musician at the University of Alberta Hospital as part of the "Artists on the Wards Program" funded through The Friends of the U of A Hospitals. He has just released a new solo CD, Songs For The Early Morning Sun.
