The Brew are one of the most sensational bands the UK has seen since the heyday of 60’s Rock. They have played every major Rock/Blues and Rhythm and Blues festival in the UK and continue to clock up success after success everywhere they perform.

Voted ‘Best Band 2006/07’ by ‘It’s Only Rock n’ Roll magazine and to be found regularly making the top thirty hits for bands on myspace.

BBC Radio1 has said of them, “Already tipped for the big time this is a great chance to see a couple of musicians that have a very promising future” and BBC Radio 2, The power of this Trio has to be seen to be believed”.

The Brew play their own self-penned material with a flavour of Hendrix, Zeppelin and Kula Shaker along with their own interpretations of some classics by the afore mentioned masters.

The Brew are a trio, consisting of guitarist Jason Barwick (18), who shows all the makings of being a fusion of the talents of Hendrix, Page and Stevie Ray Vaughan and is tipped to be one of the UK top ten guitarists. His talent has to be seen to be believed, he plays with the maturity, fluidity and clarity of those three times his age. With Jason all you need to know is that when Hendrix first appeared his entire fellow guitarists had up their playing to compete, Jason does the same with another generation.

Kurtis Smith (19), the band’s drummer, nicked-named already the ‘The Bruce Lee Of The Drum Kit’ and is a worthy successor to the thrones of Bonham and Moon and again tipped to be one of the UK’s top drummers. Not only the band’s power-house but his solo performance on Led Zeppelin’s ‘Moby Dick’, is a master class demonstration of drumming technique and is truly mesmerising!

Last but not least is Tim Smith, vocalist and bass guitarist with the band. Tim not only provides top class vocals but through his bass playing and mentoring, bonds this sensational band into a very tight unit.

In 2006, they headlined on the Friday on The Cross Piston Stage at The Rock ‘n’ Blues Custom Festival at Pentrich, Derbyshire. The Brew were such a success that organisers asked them to return on the next day to Centre Stage to perform for a second time, something unknown in the history of this 25 year old festival. The event regularly attracts some 45,000 people every year. They have been invited back again this year to headline on the Cross Piston Stage.

Mid-July 2007 they will play and headline at the prestigious Maasboulevard Festival in Holland. In August 2007, they will perform at the UK’s biggest R’n’B festival in Colne and then start a UK tour in the autumn and European tour in November.

The Brew are not to be missed, they are the bright future for the British music scene! The Brew are signed to International and Awarding winning magazine ‘Blue Matters’ record label.
