Brewn'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brewn' began as a duo performing a mix of country rock and country covers in Canberra, Australia. Original members Mick and Scott attended the 2010 Tamworth Country Music Festival as buskers. During the annual festival, the partnership met other members of the industry who encouraged them to develop their original works further.

The band went through multiple members before settling on their current line up in 2021, which consists of Michael Bond, James Cox, John Barbara and Anthony Barbara.
