Since the age of 10, this personable and talented young gentleman of 15 has been entertaining young and old alike with an impressive repertoire of classic country songs and an ability to pick tunes on the guitar, and most recently, the banjo and mandolin.

Residing on the family farm near St. Paul, Alberta has given BRETT a great appreciation for his rural roots and a love for traditional country music, which he willingly shares with everyone! BRETT is an Honors student who also enjoys basketball, hunting, wrestling, and life in the country.
