If you've found yourself wandering by the Wanted Saloon on a Wednesday night, then you've prolly heard the fantastic guitar playing of our own local resident, Brent (brentrorikstead). Brent's playing of such a wide range of great hits from Adele's "Someone Like You" to a medley of some of the Beatle's Greatest Hits are incredible.
I walked into the saloon in search of a refreshing beer after a hard day of work and found myself transfixed by Brent's amazing guitar playing and variety of playlist. Three hours and a huge bar tab later, I stumbled out of the saloon and on my way home thoroughly enjoying a wonderful evening.
Although Brent hasn't been a resident of Studs County for long and been performing at the salon for even less, he has definitely started to grow a fan base. Much like his performance, the spot light, a wood stool and a guitar, Brent likes to keep things simple and low key.
They say that heartache and demons are the creative fuel to an artist's soul. Perhaps Brent has a little of both of those in his past, but definitely enough to make his performance leaving you yearning to hear one more song. We may never know what his secret is to briefly captivating our spirit, but I for one am very glad that this future bright star has decided to shine in our small country neck of the woods instead of the bright streets of Music City.
You can catch Brent at the Wanted Saloon every Wednesday night from 8-10p.m. SLT.
