Brett Robin Wood
Sydney based Singer/Songwriter Brett Robin Wood is a folk-pop storyteller. Brett’s live solo performance has been described as “Charlie Chaplin meets Leonard Cohen” – with spontaneity & humour Brett reveals the hidden ways of the heart and the intricate maze of the mind, beautifully capturing the experience of being human. He has recently released his new studio album, Likely Stories. He will be playing in the showcase for the folk alliance convention later this year.
Brett’s show is a little bit Darren Hanlon, a little bit Martin Pearson. Brett Robin Wood’s catchy tunes gently land in your psyche, leaving you smiling in celebration of what it means to be human. http://www.brettrobinwood.com
