New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Bremner is perhaps known best for his work with the band Rockpile which included bandmates Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds. Their seminal and sole studio 1980 album 'Seconds of Pleasure' featured 'Teacher Teacher', 'Heart' (with Bremner doing the lead vocal) and 'If Sugar Was As Sweet As You' and was the record that delivered on the long held promise of pub rock with it's infectious mash up of roots and power pop.
But Bremner has a storied fifty year career beyond his work with Rockpilestretching back to the 60s -- in addition to his work on Lowe and Edmunds' solo albums he's released four solo albums and either recorded or worked as a sideman with an incredible list of artists including The Pretenders, Shakin' Stevens, Carlene Carter,
Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr,
George Harrison, Brenda Lee, Phil Lynott, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Shakin' Stevens, Elvis Costello, Duane Eddy, Huey Lewis, The Rutles, The Coal Porters, Rosie Flores and more. The man is a guitarist's guitarist in the best sense...he plays to the song with confidence and understatement -- there's never too little or too much.
Bremner, who now lives in Sweden will be joined by his Swedish band, made up of the country's premier roots players. The band will lean heavily on material from the above mentioned 'Seconds of Pleasure' and the set will be peppered with a number of other chestnuts from throughout Bremner's career.
This celebration of roots and garage rock is not to be missed.
