Brett Wellman & The Stone Cold Blues

Ruth Wyand & The Tribe of One

Brett Wellman has been performing music for audiences for the past 41 years!  Beginning on violin at the age of 5, he would perform up and down the East coast of the US as part of a group that, in 1985, spent two weeks touring Western Europe.

Since March 2017, Brett has hosted a weekly blues jam on Thursday nights in Tallahassee at Dreamland BBQ. Each week, people show up to perform and learn new songs and techniques. Some nights have had 25 performers! The rule of the jam is “any age, any instrument, any skill level”. It’s a part of Brett’s philosophy of giving back to the community through music.

Brett teams together with Chris Balding on Harp and vocals to the 2020 Challenge on behalf of the North Central Florida Blues Society.
