Bio
Wearing out his tire tread, Brent Byrd has spent the past 4 years performing over 250 live shows a year as well as sharing the stage with a number of national touring acts. His tenacious vocals and easily humm-able melodies along with his sometimes politcal lyrics create an emotional roller coaster of energetically smooth music. His style sounds familiar through his influences of reggae, rock, jam band and jazz music. His sound could be describes as if Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix were jammin' at a late night party and just before sunrise Bob Dylan and The Black Crowes showed up to add the finishing touches to an unforgettable evening of musical madness.
He currently has 2 full length self-released solo albums 'Time To Start Livin' and 'Evolution Of The Free' and performs with his power trio Brent Byrd & The Suitcase Gypsies.
Over the years Brent has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many musicians to include REO Speedwagon, JJ Grey, Daryl Hance, Willy Porter, Tony Furtado, Donavon Frankenreiter, Beverly McClellan (NBC's The Voice), Jason Mraz, Shawn Mullins, Uncle Tupelo (Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar), Thomas Ian Nichols (American Pie Movies), Velvet Revolver, Shinedown, Papa Roach and My Chemical Romance at Buzzfest XIV while touring with the band SuperDeluxe and Steve Ewing from The Urge as well as many other artists.​
