Saxophonist and performer Brad Brewer calls Virginia Beach, VA his home. The early days of his career saw Brewer as a lead vocalist and soloist for several club acts and rock bands, while working through college. He received his B.S. Degree in Communication from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA in 2008.
Brad Brewer has made a name for himself as a musical chameleon, traversing fluidly between genres and musical extremes. From world music the likes of the Spanish jam-band, Sol Libre, rock/country acts like Southern Drawl, to trop-rock bands Drop Dead Dangerous, Calypso Nuts and Ramajay, and the hard hitting funk show band Right On, Brad Brewer has made it a mission to learn from as many styles of music as possible. Both his aggressively fun approach to his playing and his exciting stage presence make him a powerful force of entertainment.
Having performed extensively with various acts throughout the US, in Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean, Brewer has had the opportunity to play with some very exciting musicians and entertainers such as Smokey Robinson, John Michael Montgomery, Billy Dean, Amy Lee and Doyle Grisham (of The Coral Reefers), and The 10,000 Maniacs.
