Brent Allen is a native Texan from Austin Texas, and has been singing in some form or another since a very early age. In 2004 his musical career launched professionally as he recorded and released his first self-titled debut CD, Brent Allen, which has been called ..smart and powerful, meaningful and tender, and humorous and witty. Brent's music is based on his love for pure/true Texas country music!

This was only the beginning for Brent. He was approached by friend and colleague, Ande Rasmussen, then-President of the Austin Songwriters Group, a non-profit organization founded to help Austin's thriving musical community, about serving on the board of directors. Over the next three years, Brent served first at the board Secretary, and then would serve as Vice President through the end of 2006.

During this time, he became friends with producer Stephen Doster, who gladly accepted the role in producing Brent's next album. Doster is an accomplished producer and musician with many credits to his name; working with musical powerhouses such as Nanci Griffith, Carolyn Wonderland, Lyle Lovett, Double Trouble and more.

2007 brings us Brent's 2nd CD which is nearing completion, after over a year of pre-production. This 11 song album has guest musicians from current members of Asleep at the Wheel, George Strait's Ace in The Hole band and Casper Rawls, among others. This recording will put Brent's uniquely resonant and beautiful vocals front and center in today's vast and booming Texas music scene.

The story behind the 2nd album doesn't end there - not by a long shot. Apart from being a great singer, Brent penned 6 of the 11 tracks himself on this release and co-wrote one with Doster. Of the 5 tracks remaining, there is a song written specifically for Brent by Philip Gibbs, a song written by Doster and Rick Cates, who served on the ASG Board with Brent, along with 2 additional covers.

The covers were chosen specifically by Brent, who pays tribute to the writers he's most been influenced by. He'll be covering 'On the Road to My Heart' by Freddy Powers (Freddy wrote this song for his wife Catherine), and 'Hair of the Dog' by Dale Watson, a man for whom Brent hopes to model his own career after, and also makes an appearance on the album!

Once the album is released, look for Brent to begin a heavy touring schedule to promote this long-awaited return to the thing he loves the most - performing in front of an audience with a true and unwavering passion for singing TEXAS country music.
