AusSIE GRIT + Texas SOUL
“i mean this guys really talented…”
— Chris “Whipper” Layton
gritty. soulful. deliberate.
His new single Eyes has Chris “Whipper” Layton behind the kit, it burns slow and shadowy. Cuts deeper with every bar.
Lyrically, Eyes is all about what you don’t see coming. Half-truths, late-night instincts, the pressure of burnout culture. Snakes in the bed. Webs being spun. A quiet voice telling you to stay sharp.
It’s uncomfortable on purpose, honest because it has to be.
What People Are Saying
“I just liked what i heard. Thats pretty much that simple...
He reminded me of my old band mate, old friend, doyle bramhall II.”
— Chris “Whipper” Layton
“As a vocalist Brett simply oozes soul, blues and just the right amount of grit to his storytelling. His guitar work is just sublime. A hint of his influences come through his own style and flavour both in his playing and vocal styles.”
— Andrew Slaidins @ The Rockpit
“His playing was fluid and expressive, weaving intricate melodies and delicate phrasing into a soundscape that spoke volumes.
Each piece was a showcase of musical storytelling, full of nuance and emotional depth.
The crowd, clearly drawn in, listened in a rare stillness, a testament to the power of his performance.”
— Brad Fry @ The Live Wire
“If I had to describe Wood stylistically, it would be a cocktail of Ian Moss, Stevie Ray Vaughan with a splash of Hendrix magic and a whole lotta Wood.”
— Andrew Slaidins @ The Rockpit
“musically rich, the kind of set that reminds you just how powerful an instrument can be in the right hands.
His intricate guitar work was nuanced, his stage presence calm and assured—a quiet masterclass that felt like a deep breath before the emotional plunge of the night ahead.”
— XpressMag
“…a fiery guitar solo was a standout moment, adding a burst of energy that had the crowd dancing in the aisles.”
— Jamie Apps @ Pario Magazine
“His set — packed with sincerity and songwriting strength — covered personal territory with a gentle touch. On Your Side, about his divorce, hit hard in all the right ways, while his brand-new track ‘Eyes’ suggested Brett’s storytelling has plenty more chapters to come.
It was reflective, honest, and beautifully played — the kind of support set that does more than just warm the stage; it builds the foundations for something special.”
— Andy Kershaw @ Music Kingdom Australia
