My company booked Brett for a corporate team building event that we had in Indianapolis. He was amazing! I sent him a list of music that we were looking to have played and he reviewed it carefully. He played exactly the genre of music that we were looking for! He is very punctual and showed up 30 min early! He's such a friendly and respectful guy, we really enjoyed our time with him. Everyone thought he was amazing and we are hoping to book an event with him again soon!

A professional performance first and foremost. I write and play music for a living and realize the devil is in the details, so I'm on top of the most specific details. I make each event unique unto itself - be it by customizing playlists for a client or learning a specific tune for the "father/daughter" dance, I've got you covered.
About Brett:
Chicago-born, Indiana-based, and Florida-bound, Brett Wiscons has been perfecting his craft for nearly 30 years. He’s a singer-songwriter, novelist, and proud “girl dad” who meditates daily, rides his bike, and hasn’t missed an Italian language lesson in over three-and-a-half years. A storyteller at heart, Brett channels his life experiences into every song and novel he creates.
Praised by Take Effect Magazine for crafting music reminiscent of Andy Grammer, Edwin McCain, Hootie & the Blowfish, and Gavin DeGraw, Brett’s authentic and vulnerable sound has garnered fans across generations.
Brett first picked up a microphone in 1995 with his childhood band The Owls and has since performed over 3,500 live shows. From farmers markets to sold-out headline performances, he’s shared stages with iconic acts like The Beach Boys and John Stamos and played The Warped Tour alongside Katy Perry. He even recorded an album with 2x GRAMMY winner Mark Bryan of Hootie & the Blowfish.
Beyond music, Brett has authored six novels in the Bear Whitman detective series ((phone number hidden)4) and dreams of adapting them for the screen. His recent releases include LATE BLOOMER (2022) and six singles across (phone number hidden)4, including the fan-favorite “Son of a Beach.” With nationwide gigs already underway for 2025 and a new full-length album on the horizon, Brett shows no signs of slowing down.
At heart, Brett Wiscons is proof that grit, passion, and perseverance—honed over decades—can turn dreams into reality.
I'm a bare bones operation: one vocal and one guitar. I normally can provide all sound and lighting needs for your event. If the event is in an extra large room (i.e. 3K people) I might outsource. Otherwise, sound and lighting will be included in your quote.
