Rochester Folkus - Brett Howland

Singing, yodeling, guitar, banjo, fiddle - Brett Howland does it all. Brett, a native of western Pennsylvania, has been performing old-time country music as a solo act since 1991. Wherever he goes he informs, entertains and carries forth the spirit of the old times into the 21st century. Over the years, Brett has broadcast over historic stations WWVA, WSM, and West Virginia public radio, and has played the Stringbean memorial festival, the Carter fold and main stage at the I.B.M.A.

He was won numerous awards at Uncle Dave Macon days and in 2002 helped the Birthplace of Country Music Alliance celebrate the 75th anniversary of the historic Bristol sessions.
