About Me:
Stewart's new record, Tilt, in conjunction with Ariel Publicity & Cyber PR and ThinkPress, was released February 28, 2011. A culmination between Stewart and guitarist/producer Chris Tench, Tilt gives listeners a window to the landscape of Stewart's heart and mind. Together with Nashville based producer Tres Sasser (Will Hoge/ James Dunn), and Roger Moutenot (Guster/Lou Reed/Yo La Tango), the clean elegance and effortless power of Stewart's voice confronts the inevitable and the unknown from Stewart's self-professed "awakened state of mind", which he attributes to the recent, sudden loss of two friends. The release date for Tilt, which is also Stewart's birthday, symbolizes a "...rebirth of sorts", and, compared to his previous work, Stewart considers Tilt to be "more of an offering than a group therapy session".
Leading the album, the aptly titled "Wide Awake" is a confrontational piece that sets the tone for Tilt -- "I just can't watch the years go by, I'm too young, I'm not ready to die ... I'm wide awake now." Stewart's "Sunshine" is optimistic for change, "Sunshine you're running late, but I can wait, I can wait." Stewart and Tench have a synergy identified by both as "spontaneous...where great ideas just come, and you don't know where they come from." The two where introduced after Stewart's move to Nashville in 2006. Initially forming Wide Eyed Sleeper, a rock quartet, Stewart and Tench released Choking On Menthol, a five song EP in early 2008. Continuing to develop their relationship, in January 2009 it was decided to drop the band and further develop Stewart's original sound. The next two years the duo would produce a vast catalog from which they hand picked the best of their collaborative efforts to create Brett Ryan Stewart's Tilt.
Brett Ryan Stewart's artistic influence came at age 7 with the untimely passing of his father. Urged by his mother to put his thoughts into written word, Stewart combined the inheritance of his older brother's vinyl collection and the passion of writing to prompt a singular career goal... to one day make records. A guitar at Christmas led Stewart's endless practice, shortly turning into songwriting. Crediting his Uncle, Nashville singer/songwriter Will Webb for turning his ear to such music legends as Johnny Cash and Leonard Cohen, Stewart's writing efforts began developing into a broad artistic range, and with the addition to 6 years of recording and producing over 30 different bands, Stewart was set to complete his debut record, Necessary Lies. Produced and Recorded at home by Stewart, Necessary Lies (2007), received critical acclaim and steady rotation on Sirius Satellite Radio, Internet Radio, European National Public Radio as well as a Featured Artist spot on Nashville's Lightening 100 WRLT. Two songs, "Yet Again" and "Face To Face" topped the charts on Neil Young's "Living With War Today" website, holding the number 1 & 2 position for over a month.

Sir just quickly before I rush off................ I only got half way through your opening song and I had to pause it for I began to cry............. such memories of my father and the pain of the distance between us flooded my heart.................. then and only then I began to read your profile notes and how your music is inspired and driven from a sense of loss (concerning YOUR father).......... how does one even begin to say thank you to YOU for such a gift............what ever it is that is your muse............ what ever it is that makes you so open to the sacred and healing truth......... PLEASE Sir, keep it up............. :) Now I am even more desirous to hear your other material............. alexleitch37
