"If you are at all
familiar with the local entertainment scene, you've probably heard the
name Tim Brecht. Tim is a solo musician who has become famous for his
unique style, which combines state-of-the-art technology with refined
instrumental technique and razor-sharp wit for a great performance
that can best be described as "totally fun." -Paul McCabeMore Music

"Tim Brecht
combines talent, a wicked sense of fun and technology to please
crowds. His guitar can synthesize any instrument, including drums, and
he achieves life-like horn sounds by blowing into a black tube called
a "breath controller." When he sings, Brecht utilizes a "pitch
transposer" which harmonizes three-part vocals for him. The only
drawback with this gadget, Brecht says, is when he forgets the words,
the machine does, too. Brecht plays an astonishing variety of music,
taking everything he covers and making it uniquely his." -Nikki

"How do you
describe an entertainer who performs sexy duets...with himself? Who
takes on the personality of the song's writer, acts out each emotion
in every song, and switches gears suddenly into a whole new range of
personalities and emotions? Hilarious...for a start, inspired,
unique...even a genius," -Mel MacDonald Chatter

"One of my
favorite solo acts is a multi-instrumentalist in Vancouver named Tim
Brecht who plays guitar, keyboards, drums, flute, and several
percussion instruments during the course of his act (he also does some
interesting things with hand puppets, but that's another story).
-Craig Anderton EQ magazine
"Tim Brecht, a successful solo guitarist in Vancouver has
developed a great way to have people accept the presence of different
sounds in the music. Although he's primarily a guitarist, Tim
incorporates a keyboard and electronic drum pad in his setup. If the
drums are featured in a tune (say, "Wipeout"), he'll play the drum
pads instead of guitar. If keyboards are the focus, or a song needs
sampled sound effects, he'll reach over and play the keys. He also has
a wireless flute setup; this not only justifies the backup wind parts,
it lets him jump into the audience and keep making music. Such
showmanship is always fun. Moreover, by playing all these instruments,
there sounds seem more appropriate whenever they appear." -Craig
