Description
"Soul mate and honorary member of the East Coast folk scene" - Dar Williams, Razor & Tie Recording Artist
"'An excellent blend of melody and pop sensibilities. He's Captain Harmony!" - Ellis Paul, Rounder Recording Artist
Brett Perkins originally hails from Southern California, but has called Copenhagen, Denmark his second home since 1997, where he has established a successful performing and songwriting career. This first solo CD, and most recent release, 'Danish Weather' (also available on CD Baby) have brought him critical acclaim internationally, and lead to touring in twenty five countries so far.
'Danish Weather' has already yielded two singles, "Love Me Tonight" and "Scared Of Dying", in Hot Rotation on Denmark's National Radio P4. As an active co-writer and vocalist, Brett's work also appears on several other artist's albums, and he has penned tunes with, among others, Kevin Welch (Will Jennings)and Boo Hewerdine (kd lang/The Corrs), and his harmony vocals appear on the Scottish supergroup Runrigs' 2000 release 'In Search of Angels'. His history as a performer dates back to early 80's releases with L.A. power pop band 'The Sneaks' and subsequent recordings in U.S. film and television.
Brett is also known to many in the European and US songwriting community as well as the founder/producer of the Listening Room Concert Series (Southern California and Denmark), and for his involvement over the past twenty years in various songwriting leadership roles including past executive director of the Kerrville Folk Festival Foundation, and six years with the National Academy of Songwriters, two as CEO, where he worked with legendary writers from Stevie Wonder to Burt Bacharach and Joni Mitchell.
He also regularly presents workshops and consults on songwriting, networking and touring with artists throughout the U.S. and Europe. Further information can be found http://www.brettperkins.com

"A truly great songwriter"
Kashmir Klub, London
"It is a comfort there are songs like that on 'Last Bus Home'...with a beautiful, light voiced singer... that leads us around about the planets rambling detours, rather than the bright, hectic freeways...where we dream the time away, lazing with Brett Perkins, who sees both the foolishness of the world, and the clouds movement and the sunbeams with laid back calmness in his vocal chords and pleasant acoustic guitar..." Erik Jensen/Politiken (DK)
