A Word from Brett Kretzer

I’m a lifelong musician turned outdoorsman and writer. After nearly a decade of touring full-time with a bluegrass band, I decided to move to Colorado to pursue adventure and work in the great outdoors. I’ve backpacked thousands of miles in the US and Europe and am always on the lookout for the next adventure. You can find me bagging some peaks, climbing rocks, shredding powder, jamming at a bluegrass festival.
