Brewn'

Brewn' began as a duo performing a mix of country rock and country covers in Canberra, Australia. Original members Mick and Scott attended the 2010 Tamworth Country Music Festival as buskers. During the annual festival, the partnership met other members of the industry who encouraged them to develop their original works further.

The band went through multiple members before settling on their current line up in 2018, which consists of Michael Bond, Brett Bamford, John Barbara and Anthony Barbara.

Their debut EP, Bear Country Road, was launched in June 2010 and featured five original songs, including their debut single Lazy.

Brewn's debut album Rusted On was launched at the 2011 Tamworth Country Music Festival. The debut single off the album, Heaven, was also launched with a groundbreaking 3D video clip at the Tamworth cinema.[1] The album contained 2 songs off the EP, and 12 originals, including one bonus track.

Lazy

Lazy was the band's debut single. It featured a mix of 3D animation and live action photography. The clip has been featured on Australia's Country Music Channel. Lazy has won numerous awards for both the single and the video.

Heaven

Heaven was the first single from Brewn's first album Rusted On. It had previously appeared on the Bear Country Road EP. Lazy's film clip features a montage of the band's adventures in Tamworth. It is notable as one of the world's first 3D music videos, and the first Australian country music video shot in 3D.[2] The clip again features the trademark Brewn' bear, both in animated and live action form. The clip was shot and produced entirely in Tamworth.[3]

Bollywood Cowboy

The next single Bollywood Cowboy is a fusion of traditional Indian sounds and country music.

My Town

My Town, the title track and first single released from their second album. Recorded and produced by Robert Mackay at Pacific International Music Australia in Hervey Bay and mixed and mastered by Jason Millhouse. Film clip was directed by Duncan Toombs (Filmery). Parts of the clip were filmed in Bungendore NSW Michael Bonds current home town, other footage was taken from John & Antony Barbara's family collection of super eight footage.
