A&W Brewer Biography
When youthful passion and timeless songs intersect, it’s a creative crossroads where everything old seems new again. That’s definitely the case with husband and wife country duo Alyssa & Wayne Brewer’s new album Alyssa and Wayne Sing George and Tammy, due for release on Friday, September 15.
Wayne Brewer, a sixth-generation musician well-known for his work with Gary Brewer & The Kentucky Ramblers, and his talented wife Alyssa teamed to salute country legends George Jones and Tammy Wynette. The Brewer’s approach their debut album with equal amounts of unbridled enthusiasm and humble trepidation, covering such well known classics as the first single, “Golden Ring” and “We’re Gonna Hold On” in addition to lesser known gems like “Rosie Bokay.”
Married since 2015, Wayne says recording a duet album has been a goal since he and Alyssa began dating, but other career demands kept them busy. Wayne not only performs with the Ramblers, but is also CEO of SGM (Stretch Grass Music) and Alyssa serves as COO of the label. Eventually, the couple found time to get in the studio and recorded the Townes Van Zandt classic “If I Needed You,” a song they had sung to each other at their wedding.
Alyssa’s voice is an achingly beautiful instrument, combining Wynette’s tear-in-the throat delivery with a sweet vulnerability reminiscent of a young Dolly Parton. Though she possesses some of the timeless qualities of her heroes, and Wayne’s admiration for his influences is reflected in the production, the couple deliver a finely crafted project that never veers into imitation, but remains rooted in their own unique gifts.
The Brewers’ lovingly crafted album is poised to warm the hearts of longtime fans and kindle interest from a new generation hungry to embrace timeless songs delivered with fresh passion. “Me and Alyssa hand-picked every person that plays on this album and that’s why I feel that it’s unique,” says Wayne, who notably is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the youngest person to be on the Opry at just 18 months old.
