Alt-Americana songwriter Brett Newski has been described as a “collision of highway 61 Bob Dylan & 90s alternative.” Newski initially gained attention touring in South Africa before building a career on the American songwriter circuit. He coined the term “ameriCONa” to describe his scrappy, outsider take on Americana rock n roll. 

Performing alongside bands like Pixies, Violent Femmes, Courtney Barnett, Gin Blossoms, Manchester Orchestra, Better than Ezra, Barenaked Ladies, Guster, Toad the Wet Sprocket & Nada Surf, Newski takes his "Garage Americana" across Europe, Scandinavia, South Africa and North America this year.
