CC Brez cuts Loose to release debut

By Mary Dennehy

A FOUNDING member of Irish funk rock band Republic of Loose, guitarist Brez has gone solo, and is bringing his slick style of soul infused pop to Whelans Upstairs on February 27.

An integral part of Republic of Loose’s distinctive, stomping soul sound, Brez, known to his nearest and dearest as Cormac Breslin, has embarked on a solo career under the guise of CC Brez.

In Whelan’s on 27 of February, CC Brez will launch his debut album The Nightfall, which was recorded in Beech Park Studios in Rathcoole with Ger McDonnell who has worked with U2, Manic Street Preachers, The Cure, Kasabian and more.

Despite a busy schedule, CC Brez took five to speak with The Echo.
