Brett Eldredge Biography

Country up-and-comer Brett Eldredge has always been attracted to singers a fact that should come as no surprise to anyone who’s heard the Illinois native’s soulful distinctive baritone. “I always gravitated towards big voices because as a kid I had this big voice coming out of me” says Eldredge. “I was hooked on the story that somebody would be telling through their voice.” With his debut album Bring You Back Eldredge is finally getting the chance to share a story of his own.
Although distant cousin Terry Eldredge is a member of seminal bluegrass outfit the Grascals closer to home Brett’s musical talent was the exception. The little kid with the big voice grew up listening to records from Ray Charles Ronnie Dunn and of course the greatest of them all: Frank Sinatra. His parents bought a guitar and a small sound system for Eldredge when he was a teen and while he didn't immediately take to the instrument – “I never could sit still long enough to learn it” he admits – the sound system and its wireless microphone became a cornerstone of his early musical training. By age 15 Eldredge was a performer in demand for local functions. “I really grew to love the feel of the crowd” he says.
Eldredge says there was no question that his passion for performance would carry him to Nashville but his move to Music City after college made one thing clear: He was going to have to pick up that abandoned guitar. “I saw people on stage playing these songwriter nights just them and a guitar” he says. So Eldredge locked himself in a room to practice and eventually started writing songs of his own. “It took me a while to finally get a hold of the guitar but once I did I was hooked” he says. “I think being a student of singers works to my advantage because it taught me how to phrase things. I had melodies all over the place in my head.”
