Not Just One More Joe
Today’s guest is Brett Perkins. When I first met Brett, he was just another singer songwriter like me, a member of NAS – The National Academy of Songwriters who showed to the pitches and the open mics. There was one song in particular he used to play that still stands out in my mind called
One More Joe. A reflective, pensive sentimental ballad that still gets stuck in my head once in a while.
It’s on his Last Bus Home CD released in 2000
On the other hand, Brett is an energetic, outwardly bubbly, positive guy who has a Paul McCartneyish vibe and his songs run the gamut of styles and emotions. He plays as a solo, as a duet with his lovely french lady named Magali Michaut, or his band the Pawnshop Preachers. He’s also often joined on stage by his daughter, 10-year-old Liva.
Several years ago, Brett started a FundMe campaign so he could bring his little girl to visit the U.S. We talk about the trip which he finally did take .
A lot of our conversation centered around the workshops and songwriter retreats Brett organizes all over the World such as his celebrated Listening Room Retreats. Below are links to some of Brett’s music videos as well as Brett Perkin’s Listening Room Retreats and other events that he’s organized. Whether you just want to attend as an audience member
and appreciator of original music, or you want to be participating performer, be sure to get yourself to one if one comes to your town.
