About Me

I have never been able to rectify the selling of myself with the writing and playing of music. Even now I'm thinking, "Why would you write that?" Because, I guess I'm sick of pretending that it all matters. Every day I pick up my guitar, put a harp into the rack, put bare feet to the floor boards, open the vocal chords and let rip. It makes me feel human. So I keep doing it year after year. It keeps making sense or maybe it makes sense of the shit that goes down in life. The joys, the pains, the triumphs, the failures. Isn't that why we all listen to music in the first place? To give meaning? To create a soundtrack to our own experience?

So, what I'm NOT gonna do is tell you who I've played with and what radio station said this or what journo said that because, nice as though that all is, I'm not sure it makes any difference to the music. I think to myself, "Bugger it! I just wanna be honest and say, in fact scream, 'I love picking up my guitar, slotting a harp into the rack, putting bare feet to the floor boards and letting rip!'"

If you like my music, then you're welcome to download some free tunes. They're a mixture of some earlier work and some more recent including a few rough as guts demos. enjoy!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 17/05/2006
Band Website: www.bretthunt.com.au
Band Members: 90% of the time I'm solo. Sometimes, mostly when I play the Opera Bar at Circular Quay, the amazing Jacob Cook joins me on drums. Good friends who are also great musicians often drop in at gigs and when I'm recording to session with me.
Influences: Biggest influences have been the musos that I've been lucky enough to play with. They have taught me more than anyone. But the usual suspects for Aussie writers: Redgum, Goanna, etc, as well as Dylan, Mitchell, Thompson, John Martin, Bruce Coburn, etc.
Sounds Like: Depends on what I'm writing at the time. Have a listen, download some tunes and feel free to tell me what you reckon? I have no idea.
Record Label: voice song music
Type of Label: Indie
