Breck Lee Durham

Breck is from "somewhere else" and walks the tightrope between "a poet's heart and cynics eye."

Story goes he saw Elvis on TV at two years old and hasn't been right since. Outlaw and Honky Tonk country came out of the 8 track as a kid and his 3 older sisters kept a steady stream of 'classic' rock filling his head. Another big crossroads came when he first saw X and The Red Hot Chili Peppers on TV around '84(gotta love cable) and had his musical horizons expanded even more.

Breck got his first guitar at 11, played badly and intermittently in garage, storage shed and basement bands until he was 17, when he cut some tendons in his left hand (long, stupid story) and gave up playing until he was about 25. But Breck never really stopped writing and picked the guitar back up summer of '95. He has spent the last 15 years getting back into playing, cutting his teeth at open mics around the Phoenix, Tempe, Chandler area. He kept writing, playing and jamming where and when he could and now he's gone and self released "A Whisper or a Roar", a little collection of songs about some of the characters and craziness he's come across in his travels.
