Brett Wood is carving out his own distinct space as one of Australia’s premier blues artists. A soulful singer, fierce guitarist and gifted songwriter, his work radiates authenticity and no matter what style or genre he leans towards, there is always a deep connection to his blues roots.
10 items on Brett Wood’s dream rider:
-
Krispy Kreme original glaze donuts with 0 calories – let me know when you invent them please! That’s a cryptonite I have to avoid on a daily!
-
Self-ironing shirts that are impervious to food spills and toothpaste splatter – I’m hopeless – as soon as I’m dressed I’ll find a way to ruin it and I am guilty of not ironing occasionally – so self-ironing shirts would be great!
-
A physio/osteo for stretching and getting out the knots after loading in the gear and soundchecking – that would definitely be a cool luxury.
-
A few beers – wait,that’s fairly normal – ok maybe rather than a regular rider fridge – what about a small corner bar with a bartender for cocktails. It would be nice to have the option for a martini/margarita occasionally. Not every show – but every now and then. Thanks – let me know when they’re set up.
-
Some gym equipment for a light pre-show session, just to get blood flow and mind and body connected could be a cool option. Often on the road it’s tough finding time to get to train, so that’d be an awesome add on.
-
Hardwood floor basketball half court – what the hell – make it a full court…just to mix up the exercise and I am an old basketball head from the age of 7 – that’s my sport. It’s a great way for my mind to re-center.
-
Incense and some nice lighting options instead of some of the fluro office type spaces – vibe is everything before a show
-
A nice amp and pedal setup for warmups and a space for small kit and bass rig as well for the band to have a low key jam to connect casually and jam before shows on. Because it’s fun!
-
Comfy, cozy couches! Quality naps are a survival must on the road!
-
Last but not least, my loved ones, if the rider could include a retainer to cover all their wages and expenses – and I could have them with me instead of being apart – that’d be awesome.
The plug:
