Meet dobro-spanking singer of songs, Bret Mosley – music flows through his veins. Born into a musical family, the native Texan’s first performance was at age six when he lit a fire under a retirement home audience with his rendition of "Wildwood Flower." At age 11 – a good while before turntables became musical instruments – he turned a Chet Atkins record by hand to learn "Yakety Axe" note-by-note. He still has the guitar, even though some dear soul at UPS drove a forklift through it several years ago as the culmination to an extremely uphill stint in L.A. It was that experience, though, that helped wring out his first song, "Lord, Girl".

Now after years of playing to a growing club audience, Brooklyn, NY-based Mosley has released his first studio album Light & Blood on Woodstock MusicWorks (12/04/07).

Light & Blood was five years in the making, and all thirteen tracks were recorded over a two-day span last spring at Flymax Studio in Woodstock, NY (Bad Brains, Tony Levin), and mixed by Grammy-nominated engineer Roman Klun (Sarah McLachlan). Every track was performed live with no overdubs or punch-ins giving fans an authentic listening experience with Mosley's heartfelt instrumentation of dobro (lap-style, a la Ben Harper) and stompboard. The result is at once lean and lush...a smoldering confessional work which conjures an atmosphere of soulful Americana.

His original, deeply authentic sound – a soulful rockin' funky blue country groove – has gathered an audience ranging from cowhands to bankers, from rastas to cops.
