BRETT O'MALLEY - Live and Original Home Bred Series - Dekk Bar Terrigal - 29.06.07:
The difficult part of this job is to sift the hay from the chaff and let you know who out there is worth your time and money to go and see.

Now that sounds extremely callous but that is what reviewing is. I don't enjoy it sometimes but that is the chosen path I have to deal with.

After having so long an enforced break from the reviews I have been thrilled to note the talent I have seen over the past few weeks still doing the Central Coast so proud.

There are of course performers whose dreams block the reality of the moment and they just need that little bit more time and practice to become a genuine entertainer.

Brett O'Malley is NOT one of those. Without tarnishing Brett's work he has a very viable and commercial sound. (I say tarnish because there is music on the radio that comes no where near some of the talent we have around here but it IS on the commercial stations). He is professional in his appearance and attitude while still keeping the humility that appeals to so many. His has a varied vocal range and all songs did not sound the same - a blessing for sure.

Brett's work is close to home in lyric content and the telling is like a story - you keep listening to see what happens next. That is not easy to do in a poetic, lyrical restricted time frame.

The favourite of the night was the song dedicated to Brett's wife, "You". Other gems were "Links In a Chain", "Deception" and "Nothing I Could Do". Leaving before I had the chance to chat to Brett I am guessing at the titles of these songs from the lyric content alone.

You can hear some of Brett's work on the BRETT O'MALLEY MYSPACE PAGE and decide for yourself. Keep your eyes on the Gig guides and catch Brett at a local gig sometime, you wont be disappointed.

BRETT O'MALLEY:
With a batch of ear catching songs touching on a number of different genre's, but linked together by a heartfelt and soulful delivery, Brett has been catching the attention of audiences and fellow artists with both his emotive lyrics, his voice and his overall sound.

Calling on life experiences past and present to complement melodies that you find yourself humming along to afterwards, Brett's songs revolve around relationships, family and days gone by.

Having always been inspired by a wide range of musical styles from different era's, Brett's originals, not surprisingly bounce off a few different genre's, but in a way that brings them all in together to make them distinctly his own.
