BRETT NEWSKI

Alongside his band BRETT NEWSKI & the Bad Inventions, Newski has been regarded as one of the most relentlessly touring DIY artists of the decade. Since 2012, he's been touring the backroads and underground venues of Europe, South Africa, North America, and even less-trodden circuits like Vietnam, Japan, Iceland.

"Newski writes great songs and sings em like a champ. He could entertain Russian mob members in a Siberian prison and still come out on top. He’s that good." -Steve Poltz

Performing alongside bands like Pixies, Violent Femmes, Courtney Barnett, Gin Blossoms, Manchester Orchestra, Better than Ezra, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Toad the Wet Sprocket & Nada Surf, Newski heads back on the road with Steve “Mr Bicep” Vorass on drums, Sean “Bad Man” Anderson on bass and Chris Haise on piano.


His 2024 book Piss in the Wind, tells tales of his weirdest shows across Vietnam, Thailand, and Hong Kong before moving to Saigon, Vietnam for two years. A must-read for fans of Hunter S Thompson, Chuck Klosterman, or Henry Rollins.
Newski also authored humor-meets-mental-health book Its Hard to be a Person; Defeating Anxiety, Surviving the World, & Having More Fun, receiving international acclaim & landing on CBS, NBC, NPR, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, & Billboard.
