Description:
Sun Music Hall/Dogtown Roadhouse welcomes Musician Bret Mosley to the stage on Friday, January 10, 2014.

His style is often described as the intersection of unlikely opposite ends of a musical spectrum. With signature idiosyncratic intensity, Mosley grooves the folk and makes it pop. He funks up the soul of the blues.

Rarely could an artist be said to transcend, yet include, the most raw and real elements of hill country blues, roots rock, folk, soul and rap. Nevertheless—with bone-deep authenticity—that’s exactly what Bret Mosley does, wrestling deftly with longing, belonging, and world-weariness...on the way home to hope & grace.

Mosley now tours tirelessly across the U.S.—200+ dates per year. His unreservedly original, deeply authentic sound has garnered an audience ranging from cowhands to bankers, from rastas to cops. Bret played on the NYC subway for 10 years before making his first record, where a fan listening to him play on a station platform once told him he was dead center between Hank Williams, Sr. and The Ohio Players.

He has opened for George Porter, Jr., Trombone Shorty, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, the Subdudes, Patterson Hood, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Jackie Greene, Good Enough For Good Times, Junior Brown, Donavon Frankenreiter, Jackie Greene, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Kaki King, Kelly Joe Phelps, et al—comparisons have included Chris Whitley, Xavier Rudd, Richie Havens, Van Morrison, Ben Harper and Taj Mahal.
