Bret Alexander  

GENTLEMAN EAST is a 4 piece rock back consisting of Bret Alexander, Paul Smith, and Ron Simasek (all formerly of The Badlees) and Aaron Fink(formerly of Breaking Benjamin). Leaning on the decades of touring experience and solid, old school songwriting chops,  the band blends elements of Rock, Blues, and Americana into a sound reminiscent of The Black Crowes, Govt. Mule, The Black Keys, and Tom Petty. Proper rock and roll. The band released its debut EP, "Oh Yesterday", in 2014. They are currently doing select dates over the summer and working on a followup.
