Asa Brebner: Abbey Lode "Live Brebner!"

(See also Asa Brebner's "Hot Air")

ABBEY LODE, the first live recording by Boston's unsung hero, Asa Brebner, contains over an hour of live music with 18 songs, was recorded live a year ago (Feb 25, 26, 27) at the Abbey. With a special introduction by friend Peter Wolf, the record blares anchors of Brebner's live sets from his 5 full-length solo albums, including favorites "Babes in the Bar," "Jack's On Drugs," and "Showdown." Guest performers include Dennis Brennan, Jill Kurtz, Pat Wallace, Andrew Mazzone, Ted Drosdowski, Kevin Shurtleff, Billy Conway, Dana Colley, Laurie Sargent, Andrea Gillis, and other musicians and friends.

Produced by Brebner and John Pfister, ABBEY LODE includes a world-wind "enhanced CD" scrapbook of photos, articles, flyers, ticket stubs and memorabilia of Brebner's career over the last decades.

Brebner was awarded with a special "unsung hero Les Paul award" at last year's Boston Music Awards, presented by friend and fellow musician Billy Beard. He's toured with Eileen Rose in Europe, produced records by Kendra Flowers and Peter Johnson, and recently helped with the benefit concert to save Cambridge's Brattle Theatre with friends Robin Lane & The Chartbusters.

Further, Brebner continues pursuing his visual art, exhibiting in Boston and New York. He recently created a new group of his noted line drawings, and is working on a new group of the fantastical 3-d sculpture paintings to show at the Paradise Lounge Gallery in the near future.
