can bring out a feeling in you which will then trigger your memory bank and before you know it...you're spilling your guts. I beleve in singing about what you hear, yet what you know.

Born September 21st in Liberal, Kansas the first child of three to Margaret Witherspoon, Dexter T. Brewer has been no stranger to musical affairs. While his father Robert Johnson and his uncle Tommy Johnson had been a traveling group of musicains representing themselves as a local gospel ensemble Dexter had continued to observe in awe.
