Overview
If you need fun lovin' entertainment, and you're a fan of the classic songs of the Woodstock Generation, you'll want Phretman to play. All the songs were Top 40 in their day (60's,70's and some 80's) and are sure to bring back great memories.

February 27, 2022Now a duet
Saw Phretman with a new female keyboardist/singer addition. They are called Denim & Leather now. They played our outdoor party last September. It was a great time, the song selection brought back a lot of good memories.

September 9, 2011Phretman is a Crowd Pleaser
"Sure Firer Fun Love'n guitarist" loves to please the crowd with the rock and roll tunes we all love to listen to. My husband and I listened to Steve Brown aka Phretman in Hampstead the beginning of spring and loved listening to our old favorite tunes which made for a fun evening. Thanks Steve

What to expect
Audiences can expect to see a seasoned musician playing and singing popular songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's. There is no sequencing or Karaoke recordings used. All music is played, recorded, engineered and performed by Phretman only. This gives the experience of live music being played by a live musician with no "canned" music.
About
Phretman is a 1-man band that plays all of the instruments you hear in every song. Nothing is sequenced or copied from a Karaoke machine and I'm always adding new material.
The main style of music is Classic Rock tunes from the 60's, 70's and some 80's, rhythm and blues and some variety tunes mixed in as well. The appeal is to the 45-75 age groups, but anyone that appreciates the music and groups from that era will enjoy the selections. If you book Phretman for your next event, you will be glad you did!
Additional booking notes
I use stage lighting suited for the venue I play for and to set the right mood for the songs I play.
