Week 16: Brett Young “On Fire”

Brett Young opened for Tyrone Wells a few weeks ago. I actually missed his performance because I was stuck waiting in line to get in (even though we were there 30 min early!).  Since he was opening for one of my favorite artists, I figured I would like him. After the show, I blindly purchased his albums at the merch table.  I am completely satisfied with that decision.  Just picture his baby-blue eyes as you listen to his truthful songs. The boy’s got some soul.

The Career of Brett Young Catching Fire

Performing this morning !

Brett on-air performing “Kiss by Kiss”

Last night, the stage at New York’s City Winery hosted three musicians whose names you may not recognize, but whose songs you’ve already heard on shows like Vampire Diaries toGrey’s Anatomy (or just may be hearing more of soon).

Brett Young kicked off the night with a glass of wine in one hand and a guitar in the other. Accompanied by Jay Ollero, Young brought charming country vocals, his heartfelt lyrics and the occasional Bruno Mars cover as he sang about young love, lost love and everything in between. Young kept things short and sweet, ending his set with his newest single, “Kiss by Kiss.”

On the eve of a mid-March blizzard, in the cozy venue called the Soiled Dove Underground, Brett Young opened with a little Joe Cocker, What Would You Do If I Sang Out of Tune, which turned into his original tune, Crying For More. He also blew the captive audience away with Wrapped Around You, Kiss By Kiss, and Define Me.

Venue: Great American Music Hall / San Francisco

I was so happy when I heard Tyrone Wells was touring again because I had to miss his San Francisco show last year due to a wicked migraine. When I heard that Graham Colton was opening I knew I couldn’t miss it.

Until the day before the show I had no idea who Brett Young was and wasn’t sure I needed to be involved but my friend Raquel and I checked out his music online and were pretty impressed. I thought it sounded a bit country, which is never my favorite thing, but it also had a soul twinge in it and his voice was great. He also wasn’t horrible to look at.  Anyway, we weren’t sure what to expect from his set but wow. He was fantastic! And yeah, he looks even better in person and is extremely nice. But at the end of the day it was about the music and we really liked everything he did. He had a drummer with him, which frankly just made me miss Craig Meyer, but he definitely enhanced the set. Then, just for fun, he brought up a friend of his to play violin on a couple of songs and wow. He was great.

We met Brett after the show and like I said, he was incredibly nice and genuinely appreciative that we liked his music. You definitely need to get involved with him.

Graham was up next and well, I just adore him. He’s got such a gentle spirit and interacts very well with the crowd. This was the second time I’d seen him solo and I just always find myself smiling during his set. He had a big hit a few years back called Better Days, which is why most people know who he is, and while I love that song I think some of his other songs are even better. He’s a great guitar player and has incredibly soulful lyrics and I thought his set was great, just not nearly long enough. When I saw him last fall he was the main act though and sometimes I forget that the openers have to yield the stage to the headliners. But nonetheless, Graham played and sang beautifully and I look forward to seeing him again.

We’d actually chatted with him a bit before he took the stage and then caught up with him after the show as well and, like most of the musicians I see play, he’s just incredibly nice. If you have a chance to see him, take it. I think you’ll really enjoy what he does.
