Brett Newski / The Riverboat Gamblers

Folk-Grunge. Alt-country. Garage Americana. Whatever you call it, BRETT NEWSKI has carved his own lane at the crossroads of scrappy rock n roll, freak folk and comedic storytelling.

Out May 1, Newski returns with a new album (and companion pocket book), Have a Thing, Miss Your Moment, Wait for the Revival, arriving via Nomad Union.

Have a Thing blends 60’s era Bob Dylan's freewheeling lyricism with the crunch, grit, and melodic bite of 90s alternative rock, showcasing NEWSKI's production style of a lost Velvet Underground tape. "In Love With Everything Except People" features Lou Reed’s band leader, Kevin Hearn (Barenaked Ladies, Violent Femmes) on piano.

Performing alongside bands like:
- Pixies
- Violent Femmes
- Courtney Barnett
- Gin Blossoms
- Manchester Orchestra
- Better than Ezra
- Barenaked Ladies
- Guster
- Toad the Wet Sprocket
- Nada Surf

Newski heads back on the road with Steve "Mr Bicep" Vorass on drums, Sean "Bad Man" Anderson on bass and Chris Haise on piano.

"I like the sound and the way he is forcing the world to contend with him." -Brian Ritchie, Violent Femmes
