John Brennan - Blues
John Brennan also plays the blues. His sound and style is in the “Classic Blues” category, playing everything from down-home acoustic to rocking electric blues.
"Brennan doesn't just play the blues; he lives it."
- Diego Luis, Historias del Blues (on Bring It On Back To Me)
"The covers on the album are all respectful, well-played renditions of the originals. He intersperses his original songs with the covers in a way that they blend together. The live songs display his capability to capably deliver his songs outside of a studio."
- John Sacksteder, Blues Blast Magazine
(on Bring It On Back To Me)
"For anyone who loves their blues with punch, slide, authenticity, and a bit of rock and roll swing, this one hits the mark."
- Colin Campbell, Blues Matters
