Biography
Brotchman is a dynamic singer/songwriter performing regionally to New England & New York audiences solo and as a band ensemble. He has shared stage with numerous musical mainstays like CSN & others but his most treasured compliment came from the lips of Pete Seeger following their duet of “No War No More” not long before Pete passed on. Pete simply looked Brotchman in the eyes and said “that’s a goooood song!”
He is an eclectic songwriter & performer who entertains as well as communicates. Many of his melodies are infectious. He will touch you with lightweights and may knock you out with substantive songs of conscience. Brotchman’s tunes will make you move, feel, think and won’t leave you alone the next day!
Brotchman, from Wells, VT, is a farmer among other things. Like the ubiquitous insurance ads, he “knows a thing or two because he’s seen a thing or two”. His songs reflect a life being lived brim-up-full as an outdoor adventurist, slogging a guitar on his back or other instruments over thousands of miles of mountains or down some of the world’s wildest river rapids as a guide, stints in logging camps, merchant marines, cowboying. More then. More to come tucked up in his hillside homestead in Vermont. Always a passionate teller of tales, earth protector and singer of songs. Is he a little different? Yup. He’s a little different. But he’s oh so familiar too! Hear him. You decide if he’s got things to say worth the ear space.
Even in local venues, you will hear 95% original Brotchman material as his audiences offer consistent affirmation. Here’s how he describes his life as a musical creative soul: “An artist lives, absorbs and reflects. When the muse tugs on his sleeve he strikes a chord and feels something. He hums, whistles, sings or imagines a melody that has been suspended in time and he picks it like a plum from a branch. Attaches some wings and sets it free.” Brotchman is a genuine
