A Musician With a Story

Originally from Missouri, Brett developed his musical roots in an unlikely place: aboard nuclear submarines during his ten years of service in the U.S. Navy. Long deployments meant finding whatever space was available to practice guitar, including the submarine's laundry room.

That passion for music eventually grew into years of performing, songwriting, and recording. In 2023, Brett released his original album The Long Road, showcasing his Americana songwriting and musical influences.

Brett is also a member of Whiskey Treats, a 2026 Best of Tucson award-winning band, reflecting his continued involvement in Southern Arizona's live music scene.

More Ways to Experience the Music

While Brett's solo acoustic performances are ideal for cocktail hours, corporate receptions, intimate gatherings, and private celebrations, he also performs with two bands offering different musical experiences.

Whiskey Treats – An energetic blend of Americana, folk, country, rock, and unexpected crowd favorites. Known for putting a distinctive spin on familiar songs, Whiskey Treats brings a lively, roots-driven sound to festivals, parties, and special events. The band was recognized as a Best of Tucson winner in 2026.

Pop Up Rebellion – A high-energy live band delivering recognizable rock, pop, and alternative favorites, designed for events that call for a bigger sound and an energetic, crowd-focused performance.

Whether you're looking for an intimate solo acoustic set or full-band entertainment, Brett can help you find the right musical experience for your occasion.

Professional From Start to Finish

An exceptional performance should also be an easy experience for the person organizing the event.

Outside of music, Brett works in business development, bringing the communication, preparation, and attention to detail that corporate clients appreciate.

Every booking includes professional-quality sound equipment, a clean and compact performance setup, and music during scheduled breaks. A wireless microphone is available for announcements and presentations.

Brett also carries $2 million in general liability insurance and can provide a certificate of insurance when required by venues.

From the initial conversation to the final song, Brett's goal is to make the entertainment one of the easiest and most memorable parts of your event.
