If there's one band that you find your way to this year, make it Brett Kingswell’s Jackfish River. With lead vocals reminiscent of Chris Cornell, Brett's voice is rich, haunting and passionate. The songwriting is catchy while being totally real and Brett's love of music is worn on his sleeve like a badge of honor. Kick ass Rock & Roll my friends.”

“High flying grace and power; that soul stirring. Southern rock sound, swirling around Brett’s raspy drawl. Driving; strutting; with that vintage storytelling spirit. A true posse of rock & roll desperados in the Torontopian heartland.”
The Lonely Vagabond, Indie Music Critic


“A great mix of Everlast and Godsmack with a cowboy twist and a funky beat. The clever lyrical rhymes and powerful voice of The Jackfish tie this thing into a very tight knot. I guarantee that after only one spin, there will be at least 1 song that you’ll want to hear over and over.”

Bio

With the grit of a 90's grunge front man and the charm of a southern gentleman, Brett Kingswell's unique brand of northern roots country rock is turning heads, perking ears and stomping feet in its wake.
The life of this razor sharp rock and roll vagabond began in small town Port Elgin, Ontario. After picking up a guitar for the first time at the age of 23, the path of music became natural for this unsuspecting artist, prolific singer/songwriter, and magnetic performer.
A firefighter, actor and artist, this Canadian super talent has rocked stages across the continent, having shared the spotlight with such revered acts as Everclear, I Mother Earth, and David Wilcox. In addition to his powerful stage presence and in-person vigor, Brett has written and recorded with Grammy winning engineers, and has worked closely with members of Alice Cooper, Megadeath, Fuel and Kings X, to name a few.
Brett has also had major licensing success, with original works featured on Canadian and U.S. national television and film, including ABC’s hit daytime soap opera, “One Life to Live”.
Presently trucking down a path of country rock, Brett has teamed up with of Toronto's hottest producers, Ron Allen of The Hive Studios and 360 Artist Management. Together the dynamic duo are formulating Brett's latest solo project; a hook heavy, groove laden collection of swampy country hits, headed by Brett's raspy drawl and infectious lyrics.
Playing with some of Canada’s top musician’s, Brett has a posse of dedicated and devoted fans, and is currently hitting stages across the country, and is quickly gaining momentum in becoming an All-Canadian, country music star.
