   About The Brew


Voted Best band 2006/07 - Its Only Rock n Roll Magazine


NEW E.P. OUT NOW! Click to purchase at online store!

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, Currently ranked at no4 in the Classic Rock, Top Artists on Myspace in the UK 12/08/07 no 64 in the Top Artists Category for Rock Bands,

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”

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 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.

Pentrich, Rock ’n’ Blues regularly attracts some 45,000 people every year and Saturday, July 28th 2007, The Brew headlined on the Cross Piston Stage and were an outstanding success, taking a double encore from the audience. In the following week, they had nearly a thousand requests to join their Myspace and made No.4 in the Top Classic Rock Artists list and number 64 in The Top Rock Artists list out of a listed 1.2 million Bands!! A position they continue to maintain.

The Brew now are consistently building and adding to their following each gig and in August 2007, they will perform on The British Stage 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 ‘Blues Matters’ record label.

Hey!

Time for my annual 'after gig' comment. And as usual, you guys delivered!

The new songs are brilliant and Jase, you have a smashing singing voice so keep it up!
I brought my friend who had never seen you guys before, and she loved it so you should be proud of yourselves.

Shame i have to wait till the 19th of december to see you again but till then i'll have to listen to the songs on here, and learn the words to the new ones so i can sing along.

Love always
