Big stuff coming up in the coming months. A basket of Badlees shows over the summer, starting with The Fine Arts Fiesta in Wilkes Barre, PA on May 17th. Returning to The Vineyard at Hershey on June 28th. Several others with details to follow!! I'm working at 8daws studio exclusively now, and I couldn't be happier with that. Great room!! New Badlees album in the works for a fall release.
Had the pleasure of being a part of the documentary "This Sacred Place: The Story Of Old Lynn Concerts" . You can check it out here:
Thanks to Lorne Clarke, Tom Flannery, and Bruce David Janu for including me. The doc includes performances, interviews, and stories about the history of Old Lynn Church and how the concert series was born. Interesting people doing interesting things in out of the way places! It will be hitting the festival circuit this year. Check it out!!
Not much going on these days on the gig front.... just like everyone else. I'm writing a book, which I started out thinking would be easy. It's getting more difficult by the day. I have also started writing some new music. Stay tuned on that.
I'll be participating in a Songwriter's Circle at Karl Hall on 3/31. Performances and storytelling at a great venue. BYOB. Should be a fun night.
I'll be playing a show opening for Lee Greenwood on Aug 19th, 7PM in Elizabethville, PA. It's part of their Bicentennial celebration so it should be a great event!
My band for the night includes: Aaron Fink, Nyke Van Wyk, Paul Smith, and Ron Simasek. A great crew!
Tickets can be purchased here:
New review up of Bret Alexander/Nyke Van Wyk (Live At HMAC And Mauch Chunk Opera House) . Thanks to Ric @ Keystone Rock Review!

Gentleman East is back in the studio this spring. We have 5 tracks recorded as we speak. More to come! No release date yet, but stay tuned!!
Heroes Of Dirt Soundtrack..... I wrote, produced, or performed 6 of the 14 tracks. I was also a Music Supervisor on the project. Great project!!
