About Bret Tobias Set Bret is a Reading homegrown talent that moved to Philadelphia, every time he and his band return to the Reading area there is electricity in the air. Do not miss this show. “Bret cut his teeth co-fronting the Bigger Lovers, a Philly guitar pop group that swung for the fences in the aughts. The Lovers got four stars from David Fricke in Rolling Stone, opened for Wilco, got panned in Pitchfork, recorded a World Cafe session and built a respectable fanbase one bespectacled dude at a time. Bret re-emerged in 2023 with a set of sharply observed and somewhat dyspeptic contenders via the Pleaser EP. The Butter Valley Malcontent EP followed a year later.” THE BAND: Bret (vocals, rhythm guitar), Krista Umile (strings, keys, vocals), Mike Kennedy (drums), Jeff Tanner (skilled guitar). Matt Kelly (bass) https://thebrettobiasset.bandcamp.com/ + Pseudo Seal: Reading based Alternative – Indie Rock Band. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090272554327&__cft__[0]=AZanihr_6x7DmzrEl2FezZcqm3KnYblMLybs7VI0vj3hBmmHAUzxoGxpBJ5XvVHSixlmg2hMK2dOiF3t1LchE13Ekn-1oX_43Ci8kdE3ydDCZI9pUg5pUKNRTAaNjp6WKZ_b8ujYDYBMQ885lFxgT7Pi&__tn__=q Advance registration is encouraged.
