BRETT NEWSKI

Brett Newski is a Milwaukee-born indie rock troubadour known for his self-deprecating humor, DIY ethos, and knack for crafting relatable anthems about everyday anxieties. This perpetually touring underdog has built a cult following through relentless grassroots efforts, often booking his own shows, designing merch, and documenting his chaotic adventures in van life and budget travel. His music mashes power-pop hooks with slacker-rock charm, blending witty observations about adulting fails, existential dread, and the search for cheap beer into tracks that feel like late-night chats with your most honest friend.

Recent releases like *Friend Rock* and *Theoretical Soul EP* showcase Newski’s signature mix of scrappy guitars and lyrical vulnerability, whether he’s dissecting modern burnout (*Time to Breathe*), romantic mishaps (*This Love is a Fluke*), or the absurdity of small talk (*Sweat the Small Talk*). Between couch-surfing tours and recording in makeshift home studios, he’s become a patron saint of misfits who find beauty in life’s awkward, unpolished moments.
