The Brett Cohen Band

About

THE BRETT COHEN BAND is a band from Southern California that plays what they call “California Blues”; a potent mixture of Chicago Blues like Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf, the Funk of groups like Parliament, James Brown, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Classic Rock of acts like Jimi Hendrix, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top. “Every geographical region has its own distinctive style of blues,” says band leader Brett Cohen (guitar, vocals), “With California being such a cultural melting pot, our music is representative of that blend. It’s not straight ahead blues, or rock, or funk; it’s all of them. The blues is undeniably our canvas, but we use rock and funk grooves to paint the pictures and tell our stories.”


THE BRETT COHEN BAND plays both originals and covers that they’ve reworked to match their style. With this blend they are able to entertain both blues purists, as well as audiences looking to dance. Their live shows are both highly entertaining and interactive with the band tailoring each show to fit their audience.


The band consists of Brett Cohen, Mike Emory (bass, Vocals), Garrett Morris (drums), Ron Harmon (Keyboard), Ryan Berkowski (Harmonica) and a rotating cast of Southern California session pros. Their debut album is due out in February, 2012.
