Brett Newski is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, and former member of Madison, WI band The Nod.
In 2011, he toured Southeast Asia alone for six months until completing his first solo LP, In Between Exits, while on the road. The album was written and recorded in budget hostels and apartments across Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Korea and the Philippines. Coined the “Homeless in Asia Tour”, Newski completed 30 shows in unconventional venues including Couchsurfer Apartments, a Vietnamese convenience store, an underground Korean record shop, and residential rooftops in Hong Kong while also playing club shows. During his time living in Vietnam he wrote advertising jingles for Saatchi & Saatchi, including the jingle for a national campaign for Diana brand tampons.
In 2012, Newski completed a 20-date tour across South Africa in support of “In Between Exits”, traveling exclusively on public transportation. The same year he formed the band “Brett Newski & the Corruption” in Vietnam with drummer Mean Matt Green (UK) and bassist Jeffro Ganter (Vancouver, Canada). The band toured across the USA and Asia. The members lived in Saigon, Vietnam (aka Ho Chi Minh City) and released one album, Tiny Victories. Their sound has been compared to Weezer, REM, The Hives, The Pixies, and The Violent Femmes;
In 2014, Newski released his second solo album, American Folk Armageddon, on Good Land Records. The album evoked comparisons to Jack White. The album was picked up by German record label Make My Day Records for European release. Newski toured extensively in 2014 to support the album, including tours with Pete Donnelly and Carter Hulsey in the United States and Jon Shaban in South Africa.
Newski continued touring in 2015, playing shows in South Africa, Europe and the United States. In June 2015, Newski released the Victor DeLorenzo produced cassette, Hi-fi D.I.Y.
