Hey Brent! Got your info from Phyllisia Ross. I have a gig opportunity coming up that I would like to talk to you about. Please contact me ASAP!

Very nice, I enjoyed listening.

Enjoyed your recnt gig at Artisphere

Brent....I am so speechless. I had no idea your talent was so abundant. I am so proud of you and it is good to see a real musician out there living their dream!

I really like your playing. Hope to get to hear you when I next visit D.C. Did you study with Charlie Young?

Let music always be a part of you in every thing you do. ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST AND THE MUSIC WILL FLOW THRU YOUR VIENS LIKE WATER FLOWING FREELY OVER A WATERFALL // GOD BLESS YOU & KEEP YOU & KEEP UP THE BEAUTIFUL GOOD WORKS

FANTASTIC, NOW I HAVE TO FIND YOUR CD.

Keep swingin'

Incredible Musicianship! - I look forward to supporting your music in 2012 - Jonathan Holley, with INDIE SPOTLIGHT

*Mr. Birckhead you are one of the finest horn players in the country. Keep stretching and uncovering the continuing majesty that is JAZZ.

Mr. Birkhead,

I have come across your music via the Bohemian Caverns website. My name is Lauren Pitts and I am hosting a benefit concert to raise money for a project to bring clean water to northern Ghana this fall. Each year nearly 4 million people die from preventable water related disease. As a fall fellow with Community Water Solutions organization I will be working with a team to install a water treatment system and educate the locals in how to manage their water treatment system as a sustainable business. This organization has had great success implementing this program in numerous villages in the past.

The fundraising concert will be a jazz/blues/soul concert. Your music is wonderful and would be perfect for an audience of both the young and mature. The event will be held on Sunday, September 16th from 6-8pm in Washington, DC at Bus Boys and Poets on 14th and V street. I would be honored to have your music at this event.
If you are interested please contact me via email or phone at 240-533-6876 or lkpterp@gmail.com. Although my goal is to keep expenses low, please let me know what your compensation requirements are. If you discount or donate your talents for this incredible cause I would be deeply appreciative, but that is not expected/requested!

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,
Lauren K. Pitts

I live in Jamaica and I was at "Blues on the green" when you performed. I think you are a very talented performer. I pray that the Lord will bless you richly as you hone your skills as a musician. Continue to do well. I love the saxophone and I pray that when I get married my husband will be able to play for me...lol...it has been my all time dream. Take care and it was good hearing you when you were here.

Slowly atoning for getting you so hopelessly lost on such horrible roads! You were great, as I knew you would be.

Saw you in Kingston, Jamaica! Your performance was simply amazing and your love and respect for Jamaican culture was evident (your 'Jamaican Stew', and the way you embraced other Jamaican artists, students etc). So happy to have been exposed to your music and talent in such a perfect setting! Blessings.

Reading your comments and it brought emotion to my eyes and heart. I am so glad that you had a wonderful show. Keep on keeping on with the blessings from God, family and friends. Have a safe trip home.

You were amazing tonight in Kingston, Jamaica. We have a sweet, sweet spirit which electrified the Park. You are the epitomy of grace and tranquility. God did not make a mistake when he placed a saxophone into your hands. Keep shining and remember to always put God first and he will richly bless you.

Your performance tonight was truly inspirational. Thank you for coming to Jamaica and sharing your talent with us. May God bless you!

I was in the audience at Emancipation pakr, in Kingston, Jamaica. I thorougly enjoyed your performance. I remarked to my daughter, who was also ther, ' he is not selfish, he gives each member of the band their time". You blend in perfecttly.
Thank you and good luck with your gig tomorrow and others to come.
Continuous blessings. Have a safe flight home. Come again. Guildance bro.

Thanks for blessing us here in Jamaica with your talent. I enjoyed your performance. I loved how you played with Maurice Gordon band as though you have been with the band for years.
God Bless.

You are superbly talented and your music is captivating and terriffic. Good luck in your career.

Hello Brent, my name is Glenn and avid jazz fan (hundreds of albums and cds) and an amateur clarinet and saxophone player. I listen to every saxophone player I can and your tone reminds of Johnny Hodges or Dave Bixler and your dexetrity reminds of a young Kenny Garrett. Thank you for keeping the saxophone tradition in jazz alive and I look forward to following your career for years to come. Musically yours, Glenn Isaac, Washington DC

You're blowing your butt off on "Song for Nicole." I watched your YouTube videos that included your graduate school recital. Keep working your craft!!!
