Brett Simons (Acoustic & Electric Bass) - "Explore the roots and break the rules," so goes Brett's musical motto. "Don't be confined as an artist by the limitations of genre and style." This decree rings true in Brett's role in Date Of Birth. Bringing a diverse musical backround to the harmonic and rhythmic middle man role in the trio, Brett keeps things solid while bouncing off of Deron and Oscar. Brett is currently on tour with Fiona Apple. He has also played and recorded with Liz Phair, Chocolate Genius, Michael Brook, Lin Halliday, Patricia Barber and numerous others.
