Brett Wellman has been involved in music since he first held a violin at the age of five. By the time he was 11 he had toured extensively throughout the east coast of the United States and through western Europe. However, it was in his late teens that Wellman was grabbed by the blues. “It rocked me to my core” says Wellman. “Something so simple, so forceful, and so powerful. There’s nothing better than a Saturday evening on the back porch with fellow musicians, some bottles of wine and whiskey, and letting the magic unfold itself through the guitar strings.” Although contemporary blues artists such as Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and John Hammond, Jr. have been a substantial influence, there is no doubt you will hear licks and phrasings reminiscent of the original artists, such as Robert Johnson, Son House, and John Lee Hooker.
