Breck Alan is a prolific songwriter. His songwriting and performance talents have garnered much music industry attention including a demo recording deal with Capitol Records and much credit and attention from several other major label producers. Breck has performed from Coast to Coast sleeping in the van and on friendly couches. Breck's latest self release "Kissing Rockstars" has recieved airplay on over 90 college and several AAA radio stations nationaly.

Groovy, fun boy that can kick it out solo or with a band.

Breck Alan once hopped in his van and played gigs from one end of the U.S. to the other. "That was a damned long drive," he was reported to have said afterwards.

"I currently tour solo but love playing in a band. Even as a soloist I play a lot of clubs and big stages usually dedicated to bands."


Breck has also written a series of vocal instruction books titled "The Art of Body Singing," available through bodysinging.com and many music and book stores nationally.


Breck Alan has a Golden Voice Chairman of Atlantic Records

Breck Alan's Kissing Rock Stars, creates such a wonderful world of sound, imagery and atmosphere that I come out the other end so thoroughly satisfied I feel like I should light up a cigarette. It seems our Mr. Breck has a bit of range.

Fresh and original lyrics Boulder Weekly


Breck Alan is decidedly a pop singer/songwriter who's gift for creating sincere music shows great promise for commercial airplay. Indie Music.com


Alan is a truly gifted and one of a kind songwriter. Netchord 2000


Alan makes a strong case as both a songwriter and musician, and proves he is supposed to be a paradox in the present-day world of custom-molded music. The Daily Vault


Alan's music is accessible and feel-good enough to garner even drive-time radio play. Fortunately, he's talented, and fun, which should reduce the saccharine levels at the stations he seems destined for. Westword Magazine

April Boyle, Northeast Performer:
Breck Alan has you laughing one moment and absorbed by the intrinsic beauty of his songs the next.
Alan sings with such ease, that it's almost easy to forget the talent required to conjure up his characteristic voices.
Alan has a knack of drawing listeners in and getting them to identify with his songs.

* Scott Arbough - KBCO FM, Boulder CO: "Breck alan's songs are sung with a conviction often absent in today's music."
* Sasha Sessums - The Black Cat, Austin TX: "With my vast experience in the live music industry, I can tell you that Breck Alan's level of talent is rarely matched and his style is entirely original
* Don Darue - KTHX Reno NV: "The first time I heard Breck Alan's music, I knew the songs were written for me. Breck has the passion missing from the bulk of music on the radio...and judging by the response from the listeners, a lot of people are hungry for music from the heart."
* David Oberman - KUT Austin, TX: "Where the poet meets the drummer, when the songwriter turns to a dancer, you'll find Breck Alan."
* Neil Fatan - The Bluebird Café, Nashville TN: "Great guitar work and an excellent stage presence."

Like most original artists I like playing one long powerful set complete with encores and roses. In that setting I play 90% original songs with a cover or two for fun. In other instances where I'm playing two or three sets over a long night I mix it up quite a bit. My covers vary from classic rock to alt rock, old to new, R&B to Jazz, surf to delta blues. I like a wide range of music.

Currently all I need are two direct boxes and a microphone

A MUST have CD

I love the acoustic version of A Man and His Beautiful Wife. I bought this cd for Breck's version of Magic Carpet Ride which was outstanding. His voice is beautiful!! I'm always looking for great music that you can put in and not have to keep changeing the cd for another good song....This is definitely one of those great and rare cd's. Not disappointing at all!!

Prolific songwriter with a quirky edge, that everyone can enjoy.
author: "The NY Music Scene (.com)"
                            
Listening to thousands of CDs every year, it's nice to come across something as pure as "in stereo", this is a great record, with some amazing songs. Breck is the absence of the over produced label genre malfunction and rather the direction and purpose of what songwriting should be. Breck's voice is at times soothing as it is ruff, but the ride is experience not a transition. "A Man and His Beautiful Wife" is now one my personal favorites. I recommend checking out "A Man and His Beautiful Wife," followed by "One More Day," and then "Who." This is an album, not for the weak listener, but rather the discerning critic. - this is quite an album... it starts off good and gets better with each listen.

Happy acoustics

Awesome! The cd has a wondeful flow to it, the placement and order and the way it swings couldn't be better. I think this is one of the few times I've liked an acoustic version of a song better than the other (on a man and his beautiful wife). The beauty of this cd is kind of hard to describe because it comes through in the simplicity, but the feelings that are derived are really elegant. *sigh* soooo nice.

Unbelievable gammut of talent!!

I have never experienced a journey via a CD as I did with this one. How is he able to steal your soul with one of the most heart-felt love songs right after you get done grooving to incredible synthesizers and funky beats? Amazing!!
