ABOUT GBKR
GBKR, a family band that goes back 6 generations into their musical roots, has performed in all 50 US states, Canada, and Europe extensively since being formed in 1980. Today, 3 generations of Brewers, (Gary, his dad, and two sons) along with a banjo player, take the stage performing Bluegrass originals, Country music classics, foot-stomping Old-time Mountain Music, and good ole Gospel hymns; offering a little something for everybody. Gary has stamped their style of music as “Brewgrass”.
During his music career, Gary Brewer has recorded for multiple major record labels including Copper Creek releasing 29 studio albums and a double live album (recorded on one of his European tours). Now, he has launched his own label called SGM Records (Stretch Grass Music). He has released an additional 20 albums on his label. GBKR’s most recent release, “Vintage Country Revival” brought great success charting at #1 on the Global Country Radio Charts and receiving 2 nominations in the
61st Grammy Awards (for Best Americana Album & Best American-Roots performance).
The entire Brewer clan has come by their musical talents honestly. They have true respect for their roots that reach back to the 1920s including third-generation Brewer, Finley J. “Pap” Brewer Sr., performing with the Original Carter family. Because of such a great love for music being passed down for generations, Gary is a strong traditionalist. He has toured alongside many Bluegrass music legends throughout his career. (Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin, J.D. Crowe, Uncle Josh Graves, and many more) (...read more)

Gary Brewer featured on Dixie Hall's QUILT!!!
Gary was a close personal friend of Tom T. and Dixie Hall, recording several compositions. Gary enjoyed recording in the Hall's studio and him and his family spent the night with them on several occasions. Miss Dixie and Tom T. wrote "Elvis On Velvet, Monroe On Grass" special for Gary, and he was honored to work with them. Gary is pleased to have his name and hit song "Elvis On Velvet, Monroe On Grass" on Dixie's quilt, which is now a featured exhibit at the International Bluegrass Music Museum (along with a personalized brick Gary has on the Museum sidewalk).
October 26, 2020, was officially proclaimed ‘Gary Brewer Day’ by the city of Shepherdsville! The guys were honored by the city Mayor, city attorney, and the city council for their 40th Anniversary in the music and their 2 time #1 Album “40th Anniversary Celebration”
