Two years ago Brett moved to Nashville for school where he took a course in Audio Engineering at SAE. They taught him how to record and produce music. He built a studio - "BBR” - in his rented house where bands and soloists have been recording their stuff. Even LIFE 100.3 got in on the action, when Brett recorded our new SLAMMIN’ CHRISTIAN HITS theme song “Tonight”, which airs every night at 7pm. (Note: the singer is Jeremy Drinkwine from Nashville with Brett playing the all the instruments.)
In his spare time, Brett and his wife are a duo recording act - Handsome and Gretyl.
They’ve recorded a five song EP called “Hold On Tight Love”. It’s available for download through iTunes, so way you go - hurry up! Get out your credit card and support H&G!

FROM THE HANDSOME AND GRETYL WEBSITE
He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
His parents started a radio station; hers were music teachers.
Both had music in their blood, instruments in their hands, and a mind to create.
The mountains led him to the west; a star led her to the north.
In Vancouver they met and schooled—studying music and life.
They found promise.
They found love.
In less than a year they put school on hold, got married, and lived.
With music and purpose guiding them, school called again and to Nashville they went.
He became an audio engineer; she became a songwriter; music stayed central and they continued to create.
Entering the Nashville music scene in 2009, Handsome and Gretyl released their debut EP, Hold On Tight Love, February 2011.
Handsome and Gretyl have created an earthy folk feel crossed with an imaginative jaunt of pop, a sweet and tangy piece of wild berry pie. This duo draws from real life, delivering optimistic though realistic lyrics, seasoned with the chill of snow, the sea breeze, and the hope of tomorrow's sunrise.
