BREE
Nashville - Tennessee - United States

Raised in a religious cult outside of Eugene, Oregon, BREE was abandoned by her family and homeless at seventeen. She made her way to Nashville where she performed at local venues such as the Basement East, the 5 Spot and Marathon Works in an unconventional power trio featuring an upright bass and a bombastic musical style influenced by early 70s British rockers such as The Who and David Bowie. BREE's powerful shows and soul-searching songwriting quickly attracted the attention of Justin Cortelyou, the exclusive engineer for legendary producer Bob Ezrin (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Pink Floyd). 

BREE's album New Skin (released 11/15/19 on Werewolf Tunes) features ten songs solely written by her. Recorded at Ronnie's Place and Bob Ezrin's Anarchy Studio in Nashville, New Skin was produced and engineered by Justin Cortelyou with BREE (vocals/guitars), Mayrk McNeely (upright bass) and David J Castello (drums/percussion) performing on all tracks. The album is highly introspective and reflective of the dark personal journey BREE has endured. Homeless and suicidal as a teenager (her mother died from swallowing a needle), BREE's father and family members in his religious cult continue to shun her. BREE has always found salvation in her music, and on New Skin she launches on a rocket ride of emotion with rockers such as Damn I'm Being Me Again, Broken and I Wonder, and soul-searching songs such as Happier Place and New Skin.
