THE BREW

Chris Plante: Keyboards/vocals
Dave Drouin: Guitars/vocals
Joe Plante: Bass/vocals
Kelly Kane: Drums/vocals

The Brew are an aptly named quartet from Amesbury, a town in northeastern Massachusetts, cooking up a musical melting pot on their brand-new, self-released album, Back to the Woods, that combines their roots in classic rock, adding ingredients of prog, jazz, reggae, world beat, indie, funk and orchestral pop, sometimes in the course of a single song.
TOURDATES ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE!!

"The Key is respecting the music," says keyboardist Chris Plante. "We do, and it puts us with the fans. We're one with them. That's what it's all about."

Friends of music, The Brew is taking the studio to the stage. The voice of this energtic young quartet is marked by carefully crafted songs with poignant, consciencious, and often fantastical lyrical content, combined with an innate ability to travel and explore within those songs through improvisation. The music of The Brew is friendly to both home stereos and dancing shoes.

Hailing from Massachusetts' North Shore, The Brew formed in 2002 when longtime friends Dave Drouin (guitars/vocals) and Kelly Kane (drums) decided to formalize their musical careers. Tightening their bond, they teamed up with brothers Chris Plante (keyboards/vocals) and Joe Plante (bass/vocals) and forged a musical relationship rooted in a connection only seen in the foundation of family and friendship. The four musicians clicked instantly and it was obvious from the start that they possessed that indefinable "IT" that is rare and often overlooked, but sensed in the music, and always searched for by fans.

Winning Relix Magazine's latest "Jamoff," voted Best Opening Act of 2006 by Bruce Hornsby fan site Bruuuce.com, and earning a place on stage as a featured act at the 2007 "SNOE.DOWN" festival in Lake Placid, NY, the accomplishments of The Brew are building momentum.

Complimenting their cohesiveness as individuals and songwriters, is the sound direction of their improvisations. Never straying too far from the essence of a given tune, The Brew stretch and pull the boundaries of their compositions, always creating space for ethereal experimentation in live settings. The maturity displayed in the musicianship of The Brew excites eager audiences, and gives one the impression that The Brew will be a household name in time. On a good night fans are left feeling that they are part of something special.

The Brew appeals to rock, funk, jam, jazz, reggae, and pop enthusiasts alike, and it has been said that their music summons the spirits of artists such as Peter Gabriel, YES, The Police, and contemporaries like Percy Hill. The Brew have recently teamed up with an experienced management company and booking agency, leaving them more time to concentrate on what they do best, create music.

Their intelligence, creativity, and ambition are some of The Key ingredients in The Brew and their growth from regional success to national recognition.

With a new studio album slated for this year, 2007 is ramping up to be the Year of The Brew.

Hey, I just found you guys on rhapsody. You're great! I love the sound. I'm ALWAYS looking for new music that doesn't suck, and yours didn't. Ive been listening to Eyes of the Giant, The Key, and few others, most of the day. Come to Santa Barbara or San Diego.

Hey guys! You were super amazing last night, here at Johnson State! Although there weren't many people there (you can blame that on bad scheduling on our part) we all loved your incredible music and overall presence. Please come back again soon!
And all of us massholes will be rockin' out at your shows in MA this summer!
Thanks again! <3
