sharing the love

Alot of folks have been very, very kind to me and my music by helping me spread the word about my free album on their websites and blogs.  Here are a few of the latest ones from the last couple days that you should definitely go visit...

First, there's a nice little write up on NineBullets which happens to be one of my favorite music sites.  You should definitely check out NineBullets Radio too while you are at it.  Autopsy IV plays a ton of great music every thursday night live on the radio dial in Tampa, Florida and you can stream all of the shows online too.  Do it. 

Second, I just did this interview yesterday so it's fresh outta' my brain.  Check out my answers & all kind of other great art, music, and coolness on: StellarExplosion

The Los Angeles's roots music community sometimes gets a bit overlooked but Turnstyled, Junkpiled is a great website from my tinseltown that's doing their part to make sure LA artists get their due and I think they are doing a fantastic job.  I am regular reader.  They do cool giveaways and wrote a great article on Gram Parsons belonging to LA that you should check out and they also wrote some mighty kind words about yours truly.  Good stuff!

And lastly for today, not that I can read it, but I just got this review in in the Dutch magazine: Rootstime and I am hoping it's good.  :)

keep following your heart & i'll do the same

Dudes & Dudettes,
Here's to you all! I hope you're having a glorious weekend. To my American friends, I hope you've recovered from Thanksgiving and all those extra days off. I've mostly been hard at work writing my next record and I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel on the writing part so good things are around the corner. I'll be telling you more about this future album as things continue. I'll probably be blowing up twitter with ramblings about lyric writing or tracking with the band and such. I'll do my best to give you insight and updates without wearing out my welcome. New record time is one of my favorite times... Also working on more tour plans too so keep your ears to the ground (or just stay with me on facebook). My newly added shows are all listed below.

MY STORE IS OPEN AGAIN WITH ALL NEW & SALE ITEMS!
I had my webstore closed for a few months while I was out on the road because it was too hard to do the shipping and order fulfillment myself while I was out on tour (yes, when you order from my webstore it's me doing all the packing and shipping). A lot of you have been asking when it will be back open... well, search for your holiday gifts no longer because I've opened the store and re-stocked it with 3 new t-shirt designs. I've also added CD's to the store for the first time ever aaaaaand like I'm some kind of regular wal-mart or something, I've put a couple items on 50% OFF SALE! Anything you buy comes with the 4 "Bird In The Tangle" Bonus Tracks too so you can't go wrong. Most of the items were designed by yours truly and they're all high-quality stuff so check it out.




UPCOMING TOUR DATES
Dec 10 - Fort Wayne, In @ CS3 - Stay Young Festival - with Sainthood Reps, Frontiers, Deadhorse,  $8 BUY TICKETS
Dec 13 - Los Angeles, Ca @ The Satellite w/ Wheelhouse, Rachel Dean, & Stephen Sowan - $8 BUY TICKETS
Dec 14 - Manteca, Ca @ Casa de Jennifer - Midwinter Night's Dream Art & Music Showcase FREE SHOW

I've got nothing but love for all of you - for your continued emails, tweets, facebook messages to and about me, for coming out to hang with me at shows, and for everything else. You guys are the best. I hope to see you at an upcoming gig. In the meantime, keep following your heart and I'll be doing the same.

love ya,
Brett Detar

The Store Is Re-Opened!

JUUUST In time for black friday (but minus getting trampled at wal-mart, pepper sprayed at bestbuy, or standing outside in the cold for 6 hours in front of the store) I re-opened my online shop with lots of new goodies.  There are 3 new t-shirts.  The hd version of "Bird In The Tangle" with 4 exclusive bonus tracks is now 50% off and for the first time ever I finally have CD's for sale!!!  Hooray.  :)

An update from the road...

Hello from Nashville, Tennessee where I am currently camped out!
It's your pal Brett Detar here with my latest little news update. I just want to shout out all of the new friends I've made in the past few weeks on tour. It's been rad meeting so many of you and playing for lots of you around the 'States. There are more shows being added regularly (included the ones listed below) and I'm working on taking this show outside of the US too so stay tuned. In the meantime, here's a few live videos I just uploaded that I'd love for you to check out and share.

"THIS CITY DIES TONIGHT" - Live in Omaha Nebraska at The Waiting Room



"CAGED BIRD" - Live in Newport Kentucky at Southgate House


PHOTOGRAPHIC TOUR DIARY



I took a nice little stack of photos while out on the road and compiled them all into a photo album on facebook if you want to see some of the trouble I got into...

And again I HAVE TO say thank you for being super helpful by continuing to spread my free record "Bird In The Tangle" around to your friends and loved ones! Thank you for continuing to post my videos on your blogs & facebook walls and for telling your friends about my record and (of course) for coming out to the shows! Please keep telling your friends to download the record from me for free.
Thanks a bazillion and I'm looking forward to seeing you at a show in the near future.

gracias!

Welcome to my totally revamped website!

Hello there friends,
Welcome to my 80% redone website.  Hope you like all of the changes.  I think it's much easier to read now and there are actual pages instead of the one single page that the site was for months!!  Anyways, thanks for coming back just in time for me to leave... yep, I'm about to leave for my very first tour as a solo artist in just a few days.  I am quite excited.  I'll be playing songs from my new record "Bird In the Tangle" and a few covers too all solo acoustic style and I am hoping to see and hang out with as many of you as humanly possible. Please click here for all of the tour dates!

Thanks again for your continued support. I love you all.
cheers,
Brett Detar

p.s. HUGE gigantic thanks to my good buddy Nicholas who did tons and tons of work to help me re-do this site.  He's in two great bands you should all check out The Wildbirds and Hughbob & The Hustle

Live at the Grand Ole Echo in LA




Here's a clip of me performing "This City Dies Tonight" at The Echo in Los Angeles. (Look closely and you will see my Hawk perched above me on the stage).

Para mis amigos de habla española. Esta es una entrevista que le hice.

The kind folks at Ruta66 Magazine in Spain did a little feature story on me.  This one's for all you Spanish speakers.
