He writes from a converted dairy on Cave's Road, surfs when he's not strumming, and fronts the gypsy ska band Freeway South when the mood strikes. This August, Brett's making his way up the WA coast on a mission to share his music. Catch him on the Bay Club lawns as the sun melts into Roebuck Bay - it's a set you won't want to miss. Bring your crew, grab a cold drink, and let the weekend begin.
