About Brett Newski:
Folk-Grunge. Alt-country. Garage Americana. Whatever you call it, BRETT NEWSKI has carved his own lane at the crossroads of scrappy rock n roll, freak folk and comedic storytelling. Out April 24, Newski returns with a new album (and companion pocket book) Have a Thing, Miss Your Moment, Wait for the Revival, arriving via Nomad Union.
The book will NOT be on Amazon. The title track will NOT be on streaming. Pre-order.
Have a Thing blends 60’s era Bob Dylan's freewheeling lyricism with the crunch, grit, and melodic bite of 90s alternative rock, showcasing NEWSKI's production style of a lost Velvet Underground tape. Recorded straight to cassette in Milwaukee, WI, the project leans into the imperfections that make analog charm so enduring.
- Pre-order LP, CD, digital here. (First 30 copies are one-of-a-kind hand-painted vinyl and CD’s available while supplies last)
- NEW BOOK! Pre-order the album’s companion pocket BOOK, or “FIELD GUIDE”, if you will, featuring journals, drawings, lyrics, and road pics from 2023-24 when Have a Thing was being written. (Only 350 copies, first 50 copies are signed). Pre-order here:
Alongside his band BRETT NEWSKI & the Bad Inventions, NEWSKI has been regarded as one of the most relentlessly touring DIY artists of the decade. He’s spent a decade spent 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 Pr*son 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 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 receiving international acclaim & landing on CBS, NBC, NPR, American Songwriter, SiriusXM, & Billboard.
Newski’s podcast dives into musicians lowest moments on the road, featuring guests like Dashboard Confessional, The Lumineers, Butch Vig, Nada Surf, Guster, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Verve Pipe, Frank Turner, Heartless Bastards, Charlie Berens, Cloud Nothings, Barenaked Ladies, & All American Rejects.
