Listen To The Show ➷
This episode was originally released on November 25, 2025, and we’re re-releasing it today due to an outbreak of flu rampaging our home — hope you enjoy the chat with Brett!
Lyndon and Breallyn chat with Brett Wood, one of Australia’s finest blues guitarists and long-time collaborator with Pete Murray. Brett shares his remarkable journey from a passionate young guitarist who wrote fan letters to Tommy Emmanuel, to becoming a respected session and touring musician, and now launching his solo career as a singer-songwriter.
The conversation explores Brett’s nearly two-decade partnership with Pete Murray—including his contributions to the acclaimed Blue Sky Blue album—his fourteen years with Melbourne rock band Electric Mary, and the inspiration behind his debut single “Real Piece of Work.”
Brett shares candid insights about working with legendary drummer Chris Layton and the vulnerability of releasing his own material after years as a supporting musician.
An engaging, deeply musical conversation about artistry, mentorship and life in the Australian music scene.
