INDIANAPOLIS — The third solo EP from Indianapolis-based singer-songwriter Brett Wiscons will be available beginning this Friday, Nov. 6. “The Heineken Sessions” will be released in conjunction with a release party at 9:30 p.m. at Union 50. The Brett Wiscons Band will be joined on stage by former members of the rock band Great Scott! which he formed more than a decade ago. A second release party will be held in Wiscons’ hometown of Plymouth, featuring The Brett Wiscons Band at Swan Lake Resort, 5203 Plymouth Laporte Trail at 9 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21. The full EP will be available at brettwiscons.com.

“The Heineken Sessions” was recorded in Awendaw, S.C., just outside of Charleston, and is produced by two-time Grammy Award winning producer, guitarist and songwriter Mark Bryan, a founding member of Hootie and The Blowfish. Additional tracks include “Side Stage,” “Lovin’ You,” Until I Think About You,” and acoustic versions of both “Lovin’ You” and “Don’t Be The One.” Wiscons successfully funded the new EP via Kickstarter as well as a private pledge from Heineken USA.

“The Heineken Sessions” includes the single “Don’t Be The One,” a duet featuring Anne Balbo of local Indianapolis band Zanna-Doo. View the video at: https://youtu.be/TsFypOCTxng.

“I wrote “Don’t be the One” in June of last year after my wife and I got into a little argument,” says Wiscons. “As a songwriter, I decided to go to the extreme and try and capture what it would have been like to lose her. I immediately thought of Anne to sing on it. It wasn’t a true duet until we got into the studio and started playing around with the tune. Once we decided to feature Anne in the intro, the song took shape from there and I felt like we really had a song that had universal appeal.”
