Whether at an organ in a concert hall, a majestic church organ on Sunday morning, a mighty Wurlitzer in a theatre, or a Hammond B-3 in a jazz club, Brett is right at home. Critics internationally have defined his performances as “exciting,” refreshing, “unorthodox, and astonishing.”
“Peter Pan” is a 1924 American fantasy adventure film released by Paramount Pictures, and the first film adaptation of the 1904 play by J.M. Barrie. It was directed by Herbert Brenon and starred Betty Bronson as Peter Pan, Ernest Torrence as Captain Hook, Mary Brian as Wendy, Virginia Browne Faire as Tinker Bell, Esther Ralston as Mrs. Darling, and Anna May Wong as the Indian princess Tiger Lily. The film inspired Walt Disney to create his company’s 1953 animated adaptation.

Nashville Grammy-Nominated Bluegrass Band
Rescheduled for April 26!! Good luck at the Grammy’s, Sister Sadie!!

Rooted in forceful and tight vocal harmonies, this isn’t your granddaddy’s Appalachian high lonesome sound. This is something far more powerful than that—it’s the sound of the mountains themselves.
