-SCUBA diving
-Riding my 1984 BMW R65 motorcycle.
-Music. Mostly guitar and specifically blues. I have a Taylor acoustic, a Yamaha 12 string acoustic/electric, an Epiphone Casino hollow-body electric, Squire Telecaster, Hofner hollow-body, a Fender resonator, a 1964 Soviet-era acoustic that has the most incredible sound, a balalaika, a violin & a psaltry.
Music
Blues. All music has its roots in blues. I enjoy other things, but blues is where it all starts and where it ends.
Folsom Prison Blues
Movies
Television
Same as movies. Mostly Monk, Psych, and the CSI shows.
Books
I enjoy non-fiction & biographies. Mitch Albom is what I'm reading right now.
Heroes
Wow, what a strong word. My parents, Eric & John. There are, of course, others I highly respect, but these are the people that influence my life every day and make me want to be a better person.
Here are some of the gigs I've got booked up this fall:
**Saturday, December 13th - 9:30am to 1:30pm at the Downtown Farmer's Market in Tallahassee
A Girl Named Daisy
Key To The Highway
That's Alright
If I Had Posession Over Judgement Day
I'm someone who's enjoying every year more & more as they go by. I recently started working a new job as the marketing coordinator for Whataburger in Florida. What a cool job! It's one of those jobs you never thought you'd have and always wondered how people got them. I was in the right place at the right time! Now, I travel to Texas about every three weeks for meetings and I'm all over the state of Florida on a regular basis. It's a blast!
Check out my music at brettwellman.com
Who I'd like to meet: Well, Eric Clapton would be great. I've been really lucky to meet some incredible celebrities, including Buddy Guy, John Mayall, Charlie Daniels, Tim McGraw, Shania Twain, Neal McCoy, Shane Stockton, Mark Chesnut, Joe Diffie, and many, many more great musicians.

Hi Brett. I don't log onto this page often, so sorry for not writing sooner. I'm more often on my spotteddingoproductions profile. Hope you're well. Peace,
Hey Brett! I'd love to come do a song with you but it's an hour each way from where I live so I'd have to have half your set to make it worth us driving that far! lol just kidding!
Hell Yeah! themz our kinda blues. Great music bro. Give us a holler if you find yourself up in our neck of the woods and remember...ALWAYS keep the greasy side up!!!
Ah...yes, BJ the Clown--a local legend! Thanks for passing along her news and comments...she really was pivital in Jason's early magic career! Thanks goodness for that or else he'd a been waiting tables...yuck!
I know Saturday will be fine. Just got home from hanging with a friend. Just talking and clearing the air was nice. You playing the Paradydm tomorrow? you should. Good crowd there and good practice and contacts. We need to catch up sometime, if some folks did not blow others off friends could catch up some time. Sorry about splitting Sunday but I have been trained to respond to responsibility...not sure where I picked up that nasty habit.
You guys kicked ass Saturday nite! I heard a lot of comments afterwards and they were all good! I hope to see you again. Let me know when your next show is comming up! Thanks for all your help, John Scott
Hey Brett, Just wanted to thank you for doing the show with us last night. Hopefully we can do some more shows in the near future....Dennis Tipton...Tubuku
OMG!!! We are so there. How coincidental that I just told him last night that I would like to get a bucket of oysters & a cold beer soon!!!! We will plan to see you there.
Great song. I am glad your using "all" your talent and going with your own stuff. Really opens up all your soul and lets all enjoy your art. Please send me some more tracks, I would love to review for you.
