The Brew (UK)
Line Up:
Tim Smith: vocals / bass
Jason Barwick: guitar
Kurtis Smith: drums The Brew 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 ten for Top Artists on myspace. 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 (Led Zeppelin) and Moon (The Who) 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 early July 2007, The Brew played and headlined at the prestigious Maasboulevard Festival in Holland and have been immediately invited back to perform in 2008. They were described there at the end of the gig by their Dutch hosts as "The father, the son and holy spirit!" for their sensational performance.
In 2006, The Brew were such a success at The Rock 'n' Blues Custom Show at Pentrich, Derbyshire, they were asked not only to do a second gig by the organisers on the following day on the Centre Stage, something not heard of in this events 25 year history, they were immediately booked to return in 2007. The Brew are not to be missed, they are the bright future for the British music scene! Official Website: www.the-brew.net
