Color Machine

When I perform, I tend to have an intimate relationship with the audience offering an authentically heartfelt musical experience. I tell stories of my past, present, future and how I came about writing my original songs. I'm also able to be background music when the time calls for it. Looking forward to being a part of your occasion.

My name is Brett Montgomery Winning & I am a mid-west kid who found a love for playing music when I moved South to Austin, Texas years ago. I love performing as it provides an outlet to express the passion I feel towards music. For thirteen years I have focused on playing and studying the bass guitar in multiple different projects. While I have loved being a part of the rhythm section I have finally decided to step into the limelight and shift gears to developing my vocals and playing acoustic guitar. I grew up on hip-hop, have played in a rock & roll bands, but have learned that when it is just me and my guitar that I gravitate towards playing, writing, and creating acoustic, singer-song-writer, heartfelt music. I like to go under the name Color Machine because it makes me feel a wide range of emotions and how special that can be. Recently my wife and I have moved to Asheville NC after traveling the states for over a year. Artists that I play and am influenced by range from Nathaniel Rateliff, The Avett Brothers, Leon Bridges, and The Lumineers, to more rock & roll-like-tunes from bands like Kings Of Leon, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nirvana. It's just me, a guitar, and a big heart.

I have all my own equipment necessary to perform. I only need a place to set up covered from the elements and electricity.
