ABOUT

I am Bret Polish -- singer/songwriter, teacher, student wordsmith, and work in progress. With the help of Art Rodriguez (drums) and Ari (bass), I've been playing all around town and am on the verge of breaking through to the other side. You might have already seen me at The Whiskey A Go Go, The Cabana Club, Club 705, The Knitting Factory, 14 Below, BB King's Blues Cafe, Club 705, The Pig N' Whistle, The Rainbow, and the Lost Souls Cafe.

If you play lead guitar, violin, cello, and keyboards and are interested in playing with us, please send me an e-mail at socialjusteacher at .
