About this Event
Brett’s House Party is 100% improvised house music. Led by bassist Brett McConnell since 2017, the band features a unique sound of electronic drums, multiple synths, two basses, lap steel guitar, and the inimitable Aniana on vocals. BHP’s live show emulates a house DJ’s sets with nonstop music and minimal tempo variations. Every set is completely different, yet always relentless. Summer 2026 brought the release of their debut album, Hunker Down, which was followed by a large album release celebration at the Goodfoot. Brett’s House Party returns to our beloved basement for the first time since then for our first show of 2027, and will be keeping the party going after The Disco Biscuits’ show at Rev Hall. Not a Biscuits fan? Come early for the infamous DJ Wicked!
