Gann Brewers 'Absolution' blends folk w/ hints of country & old blues influence while allowing Brewer's keen storytelling & place-oriented lyrical compositions to shine, backed subtly by some of Nashville's finest musicians.

Gann Brewer has spent the past 20 years performing his tunes worldwide. Landing in Memphis in 2007 after a decade spread over several continents, the North Mississippi native met up w/ songwriter, dj, & producer Nancy Apple to record his debut self-titled album on her Ringo Records label. After traveling & touring extensively over the next several years while basing between various parts of the US Mainland, St. John in the Virgin Islands, Alaska, India & more - Brewer returned to Memphis in 2014, working alongside songwriter & recording engineer Jeremiah Tucker to record his independently produced "Peddlers & Ghosts" album, which garnered him critical acclaim as well as extensive play on multiple radio outlets worldwide, including the Sirius Coffeehouse Channel - where he was their 'weekly featured guest' for a live, in house performance.

His new release, 'Absolution', took him to the Nashville area where he was recorded & produced by legendary Nashville sessions musician & traveling bass player Mark Hill (Keith Urban, Reba McEntire). Continuing with Brewer's Americana sound & place oriented lyrical compositions, Absolution blends folk w/ hints of country & old blues influence while allowing Brewer's keen storytelling to shine, backed subtly by some of Nashville's finest musicians.

Balancing his musical artistry over the past several years w/ seasonal work as a hiking & river guide in Alaska, as well as a dog walker in Brooklyn, Brewer's songs radiate w/ an honesty & homespun down-to-earth tone that is uniquely his own. "Absolution" is a collection of 11 original songs with one spirit moving through them all. It is an album of the journey we all must make - one of love, loss, desire, regret, humor, uncertainty, and, ultimately, redemption.

"His Southern disposition gives him the ability to observe and participate at the same time. He is a citizen of the world, and he'll bring you a bit of all of it if you let him." Joe Armstrong, Host & Producer of Independents Day, Los Angeles.
