The Breton Sound is a rock band based in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Contents

Founded in 2011, The Breton Sound began as a collaboration of longtime friends Jonathan Pretus and Stephen Turner. Together they produced an ambitious E.P., Eudaemonia, combining their varied musical influences and produced by Tom Drummond (musician) of Better than Ezra. Within the year, Jonathan's brother Brian was brought in for bass and backing vocals. 2013 brought their new E.P., Maps and a new drummer, John Bourgeois, followed by his brother, bassist Joe Bourgeois.

In 2015, the band released the EP "Don't Be Afraid of Rock and Roll, Vol. 1," with Tom Drummond remaining at the helm as producer. The ep was recorded at Ardent Studios in Memphis, Southern Ground Studios in Atlanta, and The Music Shed in New Orleans. The project was designed to take the band to various historical studios around the south in an effort to capture the vibe and history of the rooms.

Currently the band is working on their fourth ep.
