A Texas original, born and raised in the Texas Hill Country, which has influenced Brent's sound since the days he intended to be youth pastor.
He lovingly convinced his mother into purchasing him an acoustic guitar while in high school, as he never knew a youth pastor who was not clad with a guitar ready to lead the masses to beautiful vistas.
Everything changed in his college years when talented friends exposed him to the more roots-based Texas music of Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Lyle Lovett, Guy Clark, and Townes Van Zandt. Prior he had not realized that literary prose and a good song could be one and the same thing. He had known music that you could dance to, but now was learning music that told a story. Brent wanted to tell his own stories, and maybe get a few folks dancing along the journey.
Brent writes and performs because it feels right. "I told my Maker that, so long as the road keeps showing up in front of me, I’ll keep walking down the path. So I’m doing what I was made to do, at least for today. Do with it what you will. But I sure do appreciate you giving the songs a listen and taking the time to stop by and see a show. If you haven’t yet, I’ll be looking for you at the next one."
