ABOUT BRET MOSLEY

"…extraordinary sense of rhythm and a razor-sharp tongue." - POPMATTERS

Veteran road warrior Bret Mosley is a singular artist who blends Americana, blues, and soulful folk into a uniquely potent sound that is introspective, raw, and emotional. Mosley's stirring vocals, intricate lap slide guitar work, and stomping groove deliver deeply personal and poetic songwriting that explores the complexities of love, longing, and the human condition.

The raw intensity and emotional depth of Mosley's live performances have a way of connecting with audiences that is at once intimate and transcendent, drawing listeners in with his authenticity and emotional resonance. His shows are known for being cathartic experiences, leaving audiences feeling both balmed and inspired. From intimate coffeehouses & clubs to concert halls & major festivals such as SXSW, Mountain Jam, and Blues at Bridgetown, Mosley has earned a reputation as a true original…and as a must-see act for fans of real, honest music that speaks to the heart.

Seven years in the making, Mosley's new album, "Through the Fire"—out July 28—is a deeply moving journey chronicling his transformative first few years after migrating to Australia, from surviving devastating trauma and alienation to finding true love. The album delivers a stirring & powerful message of resilience and triumph over adversity with a mix of tender ballads and rocking Americana tracks.

"The blues is one of those genres that can easily become a paint-by-numbers kind of game, plugging in the required elements where they’re supposed to go. Bret Mosley takes the paintbrush and breaks it in two, creating something with the jagged edges that’s more authentically blues than most of what passes for the real thing these days…” - COLUMBIA FREE TIMES

“As if he was sent to summon a message to the people…with a fiery, authentic performance that has since impacted my perceptions of what a live show should be…Bret's performance reminded me that it's the music and enthusiasm of the people playing that keep me coming back for more.” - THE MUSIC INITIATIVE

“To describe your performance is not possible!! I would run out of superlatives before I got halfway. Your performance moved me in more ways than just listening to music…moved me physically and electrically, the energy raised my hair, gave me goose bumps.” - SOUTH WEST BLUES CLUB-BUNBURY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

"Bret Mosley ripped up his slide guitar, and with Picard's help on the drums, delivered a cutting set with a bluesy, snarly, lowdown sound. His bare feet matched the raw power of his persona and voice, making you want to simultaneously dance and cry.” - CHARLESTON CITY PAPER-SOUTH CAROLINA
