THE NEW BREW
“On one fateful day in September 2022, The New Brew came to life when seven musicians joined forces. They aimed to create music with two simple yet daunting goals:
make it fresh, and make you dance!
Based out of Hartford, CT, The New Brew came together at the Hartt School of Music. With such talent and drive, they hope to become influential in the funk/soul/soul-pop scene and for their melodies to find their ways into everyone's life. They each have a unique musical background that synergizes into a new sound, something with a nice body and lovely flavor notes that you can enjoy every single day.“
