“My music career is the culmination of a fairly common path”, jokes Texas-born, NYC-native BRET MOSLEY, “before making that first record, I did the usual things: ranch hand, linebacker, fur trapper, ballet dancer, stockbroker, actor, computer programmer, Pilates instructor & art handler.”

An extraordinarily itinerant journey from a small desert town in Texas to New York’s indie music scene informs Mosley’s sound, which popmatters.com described as, “...no more country than R&B, no more folk than rock.”

Nomadic beginnings prepared Mosley for years of constant touring following the release of his debut album, Light & Blood—which NeuFutur Magazine commended as “a heart-felt masterpiece”. The veteran road warrior has more than 2000 headlining dates under his belt, and has opened for notable international artists Cedric Burnside, Trombone Shorty, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, George Porter, Jr., Jackie Greene, and The Blind Boys of Alabama, among others.

Now living in Melbourne, Mosley has shared the stage with prominent Aussie artists Ian Moss, Tex Perkins, The Pierce Brothers, Hussy Hicks, Minnie Marks, Kallidad, et al.
