Brett has now cemented himself as a staple of the Canadian music scene and is based out of Vancouver Island, Canada as a working musician, producer, guitar teacher and guitarist for hire. He is proud to endorse RotoSound Strings and Graph Tech Guitar Hardware.

Whether it be playing to thousands on festival stages or gigging in venues across North America and Europe on famous stages like The Troubadour (London), Massey Hall (Toronto), The PNE (Vancouver), or Foro Bizarro (Mexico City), Brett’s 20+ years of musical experience comes to a head in his mix of rock, pop, blues and indie.
